This entire post you go through and point out that this is not even worth mentioning yet go on to tell us to go research why this is dangerous? You tell me that I am not making "logical sense" yet you continue to put out logical fallacies. iMore claims to be "The #1 site for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and all things Apple!" yet this is not fair game? Even when it is being reported on the news?
It is a sad sight when you see people arguing to keep people in ignorance.
A demeaning name? LOL! Are you reading a post that isn't there or something?
I think you have a reading comprehension problem because no where in my post did I tell you to research why this was dangerous...I told you to go research the difference between this hack and the normal jailbreaking process, because you and a few others make it blatantly obvious you don't know the difference...at all.
Nothing I posted was a "logical fallacy"...I pointed you in an appropriate direction, and you want to continue on this strange agenda of thinking this is being "covered up" or that it is some kind of lack luster reporting on iMore's behalf. This is common sense for god's sake! You sit here and cry on and on about how iMore should at least report something about this, but the entire situation is relevant to a group of people who, all things considered, were playing with fire and got burned. They were using software to gain access to pirated material...no different than downloading stuff on Pirate Bay and ending up with a computer virus.
I guess iMore should report on that too now that I mention it...LOL!
The act of jailbreaking an iPhone is not dangerous at all...just like the act of owning a gun is not dangerous at all. What you do with it afterwards is totally within your own control, and if you do something dumb (or potentially dumb), you run the obvious risk of facing a bad situation.
You are flat out wrong and uneducated on the subject if you think this kind of hack is something every jailbreaker faces simply by jailbreaking their device...which is why I told you to research the stuff at the end because you obviously don't have a clue what you're clamoring on about, and it's actually pretty hilarious to read. Nobody is keeping anyone in ignorance...you are simply choosing to remain in it yourself...
