APPLE'S WONDERFUL SECURITY, which is based on chanting a mantra that Steve Jobs says it is safe, has proven woefully inadequate yet again. A renowned Iphone hacker had the whole thing jail-broken within seconds of removing the shrink wrapping and just 12 hours after the gizmo appeared in the shops."MuscleNerd" has been showing a video saying that he gained root access to the Ipad, which means he has control of the machine he paid lots of dosh for and not Steve Jobs.
His Ipad can run any code, not just company-approved software available through its online store.
The method he used is similar to an exploit that cracks the Iphone. After all they both have the same operating system so it was a bit of a no-brainer.
We would have thought that Apple would have slipped in a few improvements to stop this sort of thing, but obviously not. Security problems are only for Windows machines.
