Security risks of Jailbreaking

[Nickjudd]

Firstly i would like to say that i am not a jail breaking critic, i love jail breaking my iphone 4!
I would just like to post my personal experience regarding JB iphone and fraud!
At the start of this year I bought MewSeek, I payed through paypal on my iphone and the next day all but 0.01 was withdrawn from my account. I am 100% sure that this payment had to do with the fraud due to the fact that i never use my card and i have been out of the country for a year!
(It was the only transaction within a year)

Either paypal had a leak (HIGHLY unlikely)
or
My JB iphone had a key logger or/and the MewSeek app stole my details!~
I would just like to warn everyone the dangers and security risks of a jailbroken iphone~!
It's all good tho, WellsFargo gave me all my money back!

Comments wanted & appreciated!

Thanks for the info, but I am confused.

You show a paypal payment then it shows an ATM withdrawl.

I have never use PayPal on my iphone but it does not show any of your ATM or Credit card info thats the reason I use PayPal. I also have the security card that when I login to PayPal I have to press and it generates a number. Also when I choose this it gives me the card number so I know its not a scam. Also sometimes I put in the wrong number just to make sure its legit.

Would like to know more about this.

How did you purchase this? Was it through Paypal? iTunes? Or did you put your credit card number into some random, unsecured web site?

Mewseek member since day one...no worries with my paypal....I think the problem was not your iPhone , nor mewseek...but your roommate stole and used ur card while u was gone (but seriously) it was somehing else..

"You show a paypal payment then it shows an ATM withdrawl."
I have been in Ireland for the last year not santa monica (although i wish!)
Once they have ur info they make a fake card & use it!

You can use paypal without a paypal account, where u just type in card info.

It's actually physically impossible for it to be anything else! I have not been in the US or used my account for around half a year.... I only used it once for paying for Mewseek and then 3 days later my account was drained!

So you used a debit card then.

You entered the card info.

Was you on the PayPal secure website or did you enter the info on the sellers website.

"Was you on the PayPal secure website or did you enter the info on the sellers website."

I'm not that sure anymore because it was around 3 months ago, yet i saw on the app 'buy' clicked there and then i believe it opened what seemed to be paypals secure website... I only entered my info once so i must have been because i don't believe u can pay for paypal through an insecure website... (yet im not sure).
