Apple fans have been waiting for iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, but it seems the Chinese-based jailbreak, Pangu, is yet to jailbreak iOS 9.3.2. However, Pangu displayed a jailbreak version of the iOS 10 at the recently held Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) in Shanghai on July 1. Pangu and PoC, a Korean-based hacker team, jointly hosted the event.
Pangu unveiled its expertise by running the Cydia app manager on the iOS 10, although there were no jailbreak tools revealed. The company as well gave a presentation about the absence of security for Apple devices running on the iOS 9.3.2.
During MOSEC, Pangu reportedly announced that they have a working jailbreak version of iOS 9.3.2 and that they intend to release it soon. However, PoC denied that such an announcement has not been made, according to Superphen.
Pangu was successful in making a jailbreak version of iOS 10, but it was just a beta version of the latest iOS. According to one of the Chinese hackers, iOS final versions are hard nuts to crack.
Jailbreakers easily target beta versions because they presumably have no security features. However, Pangu has gained some considerable insights on the weak security parts of iOS 10. The group could easily take advantage of these weaknesses if the Cupertino-based tech giant does not patch up the less protected areas in the full and ultimate version.
The rumor has triggered excitement for fans that are clamoring for a jailbreak tool for their iPhone and iPads. Although PoC denied the availability of a working iOS 9.3.2, many are still optimistic.
Apple device users resort to jailbreaking so that they can gain access to applications that are not permitted by the Apple App Store, according to Mac Rumors. The move is dangerous because it effectively voids any warranty from the manufacturer in the event something goes wrong with their smartphones or tablets.
Users could as well be inadvertently providing their personal and financial information to unauthorized apps loaded with malware. As a result, jailbreak users are advised only to download apps verified by Cydia or other trusted sources.
