Apple's latest update to its iOS software fixes a security hole that could have been exploited to take control of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Jailbreaking is a security concern. If you can jailbreak an iPhone it is no longer secure. . . and if you can jailbreak it remotely it is not secure at all.
