After more than 250,000 jailbreakers see their data stolen by the KeyRaider breach, Wait that is not true!
truth about KeyRaider and iOS jailbreaking
Firstly,
What is Jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking is the process of removing hardware restrictions imposed by iOS, Apple's operating system, on devices running it through the use of software exploits; such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second-generation Apple TV.
Jailbreaking is different to iPhone unlocking.
iPhones (like most mobile phones) that are sold as part of a contract
are often locked to a particular network. This means that if you buy an
iPhone from Company X, for example, you have to use an Comany X SIM card in it. The
iPhone is 'locked' to that network. Unlocking the iPhone turns it from
an iPhone that can only work on the Company X network to one that can work on
any network. But you will still be running officially sanctioned iOS
software, and still have the software limitations. (Unlocking is
considered a breach of your mobile phone contract, incidentally.)
Now, more than 250,000 jailbreakers see their
data stolen by the KeyRaider breach, That is NOT TRUE...
the truth is that there are millions of jailbreakers and even more phones jailbroken.
