Jail Broken iPhone

A recent decision has determined that jail breaking an iPhone is not illegal. Without missing a beat there is spam related claiming to have software to allow you to do this. When the user clicks on the link they are directed to a site that proceeds to download malware to the users computer. Currently the malware is a PC binary, this represents new risk however to Mac users. Without validation and verification of Apps loaded onto your phone there is the possibility of there being a Trojan or malware that is Mac, iPad or iPhone specific to waiting in the wings. Currently it is our recommendation that users should not jail-break or install any App's that are not signed or orginate from the AppStore. 

Stay tuned...
