Here is a remainder that if you want to escape Apple’s security, you’d better know what you’re doing and enforce your own.

A hacker from Netherlands used port scanning to find jailbroken iPhones running SSH and who’s users were careless enough to leave the default root password after jailbreaking their phones. His initial demands for fixing a hacked iPhone were 5 euros and has now published the solution for undoing what he did.

Personal opinion: Those who got their iPhones hacked should have at least said thank you for uncovering how insecure their phones were instead of accepting his apologizes for what he has done.
