In fact, several have been hacked iPhone as recently reported, by a hacker Dutchman, who did not have much else to do to prove that “the safest in the world phone” (as some call it) is extremely vulnerable when he does famous jailbreak, such release that allows users the power to download content they want and not only that Jobs allowed.

While I am not absolutely disagree with the ridiculous restrictions that seek to impose from the beginning, the phone comes true not only at the whim of their creators and business of the apple, but also by various security reasons. The controls and measures that are usually taken to prevent such attacks are nothing unless they are removed to make the team jailbreak, allowing in this particular case, a hacker gained entry to the device simply by 3G data network.

All this is possible because all iPhones and iPod Touch come with the same default passwords for their user accounts root and mobile, which becomes a real danger in the case of those who do jailbreak their phones. It is highly recommended that you also take care to change these passwords so they do not suffer from this type of attack on a mass level.

Unfortunately the cost of having an iPhone that you can download virtually any program is to be much more vulnerable to attack by hard-core fans, and of course, not being able to download the latest OS updates until proven to work and not interfere with or “claim” to users with this type of phone.
