Latest iPad Security Threat: Fake Jailbreaks

An anonymous coder is messing with the heads of jailbreakers – the folks who develop and run code that lets your Apple iOS device load applications without having to rely solely on the company’s iTunes service. The twist: this code, by design, fails to jailbreak your iPad.

Someone with the Twitter handle @d0nfyxn, whose profile only says he is from Montreal, posted on Saturday what he claimed was an iPad 2 jailbreak, called A5-2LiB02, along with a YouTube video purporting to show it in action. Both the tweetstream and his own Facebook page for the jailbreak show early skepticism and then a mounting fury of denunciation.

Someone who really is a jailbreaker, a hacker and member of the iPhoneDevTeam who uses the handle @MuscleNerd, tweeted: “The fake JB [jailbreak] by @d0nfyxn was designed to fail: http://is.gd/LiAM1J (it could have been worse and wrecked your files)”
