Some German researchers at The Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology found a way to steal the passwords on the apple I pod in under six minutes. They abuse weaknesses in the safari browser. They have only been able to steal passwords from people who purposely jail broke(jailbreak-illegally download software to manipulate the codes in the I pod that set the guidelines to what you can do so they can do whatever they want on it) their I pods. Apple commented by saying that apple software could only be manipulated if they had the device in hand. Those same German researchers are now saying that people who haven't jail broken their I pods aren't necessarily safe. It is just more difficult to get those passwords, but it can be done.
