    Default 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?


    "Turns out that if you jailbreak your iPhone you remove most of the Apple’s security protections — 80% to be exact — and are vulnerable to attacks. At least according to Charlie Miller:

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

    Hey I don't see anything chicken about ensuring, which I highly doubt, that anyone is hacking your personal information. Though I have gotten some rogue messages once through a push notification fix I got on cydia other than that I don't thing any of the devs would want the negative press.
