Jailbroken iPhones - Security Risk?

Original Link here

I have a jailbroken phone and was aware of the risks which is why I install cautiously but, does anyone have examples of this where they had an information that was compromised? Any thoughts?

“If you care about security, don’t use a jailbroken iPhone,”
