The exploit can affect both jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices.
If you're an iOS hacker who's just uncovered a brand-new exploit in Apple's mobile operating system, the U.S. Government might pay you up to $250,000 for exclusive use of the exploit.
If you're running iOS 5.1, make sure not to open any untrusted links!
The mastermind himself, Saurik, releases a PDF patch that allows you to keep your jailbreak and stay safe from malicious PDFs. Read on to find out how.
While Apple has already released a fix for the PDF exploit that allows the latest jailbreak, it's really not for everyone, as it also kills the ability to jailbreak. Additionally, it doesn't fix the problem on the 2G iPhone and first generation iPod touch.
It might have taken some time, but Apple just got around to finally pushing out a new version of iOS that fixes the recently revealed exploit that allowed the jailbreakme.com jailbreak.
Rumor has it that Apple has patched up the PDF security issue on iOS 4 devices, and plans on releasing it soon. Unfortunately, this means that jailbreaking with JailbreakMe.com will no longer work with the same method, leaving users to make an important choice. Find out more after the break.
