IPhone 4 Jailbreak: So Easy, You Can Even Do It at the Apple Store
Advertisement
August 3rd, 2010
While at an Apple Store, Redditor blindingdawn “got bored”. So he did what any bored person would do – jailbreak one of the displayed iPhone 4 units:
The evil deed (or is it a good deed?) was done via a trip to JailbreakMe on the iPhone’s browser. Two things, Apple Store employees: First, block the site pronto, before someone does it again and installs Frash on one of your displayed iPads. Second, make sure people don’t get bored inside your store anymore. Try hanging pictures of the iDish dude.

In its ongoing commitment of providing safer, faster and more stable PDF software tools, Foxit is taking a proactive measure in securing its 100 million PDF Reader users against the iPhone/iPad Jailbreaking application that utilizes malicious PDFs to hack the systems of unsuspecting users. Hackers are now trying to use these malicious PDF’s to access sensitive data on desktops. Foxit welcomes all PDF Reader users to download the latest version of the Foxit Reader 4.1.1 which addresses and resolves the issues related to the jailbreak hack.
To protect iPhone/iPad users from the jailbreak program that is being used to exploit iPhones in the way they handle PDFs, Foxit is preannouncing its soon to be submitted PDF Reader App for iPhone. Foxit believes that the upcoming release of its Foxit Reader for iPhone will provide a secure PDF reader for the iPhone. Foxit will be submitting this App within two weeks and it will have full PDF viewing capability. Just as with the Windows Reader, Foxit PDF Reader for iPhone will protect users against malicious PDFs.”
I have just typed in to Google -Why is it so easy to jailbreak an i-phone, and landed here but it just seems the best way to use the phone for freebies really and that alone must cost Apples revenue big time.
