Hello all,
On my rooted droid I was prompted to allow an app root privileges when the app tried to gain root level access. This gave me some control allowing me to limit root access to a few trusted apps - like app data backups.
Realized today that a backup app could read and backup my apps but had never asked me for root permission.
Does this not also mean that any JB app can do the same?
On android it came out that google and some banking apps stored sensitive account info unencrypted because they didn't consider that people would gain root access. Presumably the same dumb ars crew made the banking app for iOS as well.
Is this a concern for anyone on JB iOS?
What suggestions does anyone have to stay safe?
