It happens to every OS eventually, especially young ones. This time it's Windows Phone - an SMS or a chat message from Facebook or Windows Live Messenger can be used to disable the Messaging hub. It has been tested with Windows Phone 7.5 (builds 7720 and 7740) and seems to be a problem with the OS itself, rather than a specific device. After the attack, the Messaging hub is unable to start and the only way to fix it is to do a hard reset on the device.
If you have a Live tile pinned to the homescreen from the contact that sent you that message, the whole phone would freeze.
