Geohot announces there is a jailbreak exploit in EVERY iTouch, iPhone and iPad!

[evilsatan]

Now this is interesting

Most probabely you guys are already familiar with George Hotz alias GeoHot. Infact this dude is to be blamed for finding a number of iPhone exploits, with exception of Spiritejailbreak. He was the first person to hack iPhone 2G through hardware back in 2007. He is also responsible for hacking Play Station 3, which was widely regarded as the only fully locked and secure System.


Now he is back with new and exciting news. At Nuit Du Hack conference in Paris, George presented a new and Ultimate life long Jailbreak code named “pwned4life”, which is actually based on Bootrom Exploit. It can also be used to jailbreak iPhone 4.


Release date of pwned4life is not yet disclosed…

Interesting presentation but most goes wayyy over my head

Just wondering if all this sloppy coding is done on purpose. How many units are sold worldwide because it can be opened up?

Could be something in that.

"May" have applied to, to the XBOX1, PS1, PS2 and Nintendo DS. Not a lot of effort in cancelling the hacks really...

Or... Apple are just shite.

I dunno if this is intentional as aren't Apple themselves the key driver in keeping the platform closed? However, I'm just saying I doubt it was an official policy, we would never know if some dev's sneakily intentionally left weaknesses.

This kind of conspiracy has been hinted about several games consoles. I personally don't believe it, hackers are just doing what they do best!
