Totally stupid article claiming that IF you can be persuaded to install a malicious TROJAN on your iPhone or iPad from a 3rd party app store, something that is ONLY DONE WITH JAIL BROKEN iOS devices, a hacker can steal your data. . . well, DUH!

Exactly HOW are they planning on getting these "malicious apps" onto an un-jailbroken iPhone and iPad? Apple will not permit them on the Apple curated App store. This is FUD! – PING!


Apple FUD security article Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

It doesn’t take a jail broken phone, just apps installed through the enterprise deployment system. It is a 5% vector, but under certain circumstances it can happen.

If you go outside the Apple Universe you are subject to greater threats.

I therefore only recommend doing so if you are comfortable supporting the IOS and capable of protecting and defending yourself against threats.
