Jailbreak iPhone makes vulnerable

Among the amenities offered iPhone jailbreak their owners, often note the ability to transfer files from iPhone to computer and vice versa using the SSH protocol. However, it does have its flaw in the compromised smartphones, where appropriate client installed, many users do not change the default password to access files from outside. As a result of information from their phone can access any more or less knowledgeable person in this regard.

This shortcoming (in conjunction with the carelessness of many owners of smartphones) I used Dutch a hacker, the very original way. With access to the iPhone, it sends the owner an SMS message, which informs about the penetration into your phone and asks to go to their website and secure your smartphone. However, for to learn how to protect a vulnerable iPhone, a person has to pay € 5 a hacker using the PayPal payment system. After receiving the card the attacker sends an email the owner of a smartphone with the information and it turns out that all that is needed - is to change the access password for SSH.

The Dutchman later, however, he returned the money and issued instructions on how to secure your phone, for free. But their victims, he said that other cracks may not be so kind and use the iPhone hacked in their criminal purposes.

This situation proves that the jailbreak iPhone does more vulnerable to all sorts of scams. And out of this situation is the user security on your smartphone - either by changing the default password, or a simple refusal of hacking in principle. In addition, there are programs for the iPhone to disable SSH-access to the phone. For example, it is possible, in SBSettings. Besides, you do not need to install SSH-client on the phone after the jailbreak, and if there is no appropriate software, there is no access to the machine from outside.
