In such a case what is to stop a malicious site having a "free porn" button which installs something much more nasty.
- StavrosK 14y agoNothing, of course.
- jiggy2011 14y agoIn which case I'm surprised there wasn't a widespread epidemic of malware infected iOS devices.
- xmodem 14y agoBecause that would require someone to invest time and money in writing malware which will only ever make it on to a handful of devices and will be removed when those devices are updated.
- jiggy2011 14y agoThere are a huge number of iphones in circulation. If the malware had jailbroken privileges would it not be able to disable the update mechanism on the phone?
- NamTaf 14y agoIn the case of JailbreakMe 2.0 (the exploit last year), the makers of the JB actually released a Cydia patch for that exact reason. In that instance, the JB'ed device was in that regard more secure than the stock device.
