IOS devices use an operating system quite safe, but also rather limited. That is the reason why the jailbreak, to do everything that Apple does not want to do. The problem with the jailbreak is that, at the same time that we open a door to a whole range of possibilities, we open a door to malicious software. And it is that many users who used the latest tool of Pangu are reporting something troubling.
It seems that some users who did the jailbreak with the new tool of Pangu have seen as several of their accounts have been used in a manner not authorized, as we can read on Reddit. At this point it seems to me very important to mention that this problem could be happening right after the latest release of the team of Chinese hackers only by coincidence; of time not is confirmed that keep relationship some.
Is the last jailbreak of Pangu safe?
The main reason why are wary of the latest jailbreak is that we are asked our Apple ID at a time in the process. Logically, after completing a process that breaks the chains of iOS, good and bad, that we have to provide our credentials, the most logical thing is thinking that the violation of the accounts has something to do with the latest jailbreak, although we repeat that still has not been confirmed that it relates.
Users who have seen their compromised accounts agree that used the Windows PPHelper tool, so it is likely that this tool contain malicious code that sends the credentials to a server for later fraudulent use.
So far, the affected users say that they have entered their accounts Facebook, PayPal and credit and debit accounts. It is likely that, if it is confirmed that the tool PPHelper is the guilty, affected users should give your Apple ID and other accounts to use the same credentials, by which it is possible that also can access other accounts in addition to the above mentioned 3.
Saurik is confident Pangu… but not in 25PP
Saurik says trusting Pangu, but not sure of the way of broadcasting the team of Chinese hackers to use. In addition, not having to install 25PP tool like that. Assume that Cydia Impactor, the software that the jailbreak is installed on your English version and that has created the own Saurik, is clean because not installed anything 25PP. The bad thing is it works from 25PP servers and cannot be ruled out the possibility that have changed the software, so it could not be anything for insurance. The majority of affected cases have taken place in Asia, but it is possible to pass in more countries for all of the above.
All this shows that it should be carefully always, and more when we do the jailbreak to our device. If any software of dubious origin asks us our Apple ID, it is best not to give it to him. And if we need some of that software is worth creating an account only to carry out the process. The question now is: do we trust Pangu?
