In recent study Nicolas Seriot found that iPhones that are Unjailbroken can be more of a security threat then those who are. How!? The stock iPhone OS being closed and unmodified makes it vulnerable to catching such “Viruses” through something as legit as a App Store app. Creepy? I think so! Jailbreak your phone to be on the safe side! What makes the jailbroken software safer? The fact that it has firewalls does. Remember when the “iPhone Conficker” virus came out targeting jailbroken iphones what did they tell you to do? Change your SSH password creating a firewall. So we did. This could not have been done without SSH…..Via Jailbreaking.
