Full title: Your Jailbroken iPhone can hack a phone tower.

At least that's what Apple wants you to believe....

Article

''The nation's cellphone networks could suffer "potentially catastrophic" cyberattacks by iPhone-wielding hackers at home and abroad if iPhone owners are permitted to legally jailbreak their shiny wireless devices - that's what Apple claims."

"Apple also claimed that jailbreaking would pave the way for hackers to alter the Exclusive Chip Identification number that identified the phone to the cell tower, which could enable calls to be made anonymously. Apple said 'this would be desirable to drug dealers.' "

Apple is probably talking out of their ass with this, they just don't like it when people work around their appstore.

That doesn't seem like something to brag about, why would they lie about that?


You have to draw the line of determination from desperation. What is truly yours would eventually be yours, and what is not, no matter how hard you try, will never be.

Jail breaking was just made because of apple's policies of deliberate obsolescence. They intentionally design the drivers to make the phone worse than the hardware is capable of so that people will be forced to buy the next generations. Apple does the same thing with their shitty iPods and shittier operating systems.

It's an iphone, not a newer version of the "blue-box". They want to make it illegal. I personally don't have one, but i'd like to actually use my hardware to its capacity rather than getting a new one every month.
