Hackers release a jailbreak that works for all iPhones

Hackers release the first public jailbreak for Apple’s iOS operating system that they claim works on all iOS devices. A hacker who worked on the jailbreak mentions that it works by capitalizing on a vulnerability in iOS that Apple is not yet aware of. According to iOS security researcher Pwn20wnd, who uncovered Apple’s vulnerability, this novel news symbolises the first time a jailbreak has been released which works on all devices on launch day since iOS 10. In an online chat, Pwn20wnd told Vice, “iPhones are getting more secure every year because Apple is learning their mistakes from public jailbreaks or attacks they find in the wind.” Usually, security experts warn customers against jailbreaking their devices for it can possibly exposure their devices to other forms of attack. In this case however, Pwn20wnd said that iOS security engines remain intact, even though this is a speculative claim at this time. Apple has not yet responded to an appeal for comments.
