No matter how Apple brags about the security of its devices, and do not feed the hackers, just let me refute such statements. It would seem that only on September 7 we were shown for the first time the flagship smartphones of the company from Cupertino, and now the first news about the jailbreak of the iPhone 7 on the Net appeared. Even more unexpected was to hear this from a teenage hacker named Luke Todesko, known under the pseudonym qwertyoruiopz.
Luke said in his Twitter and YouTube channel that it took him less than 24 hours to jailbreak the brand-new iPhone 7 running iOS 10. The hacker has no purpose to share with the world the detected exploit in the near future. He wants to give Apple the opportunity to release a patch that closes the hole in security, and only after that he will share with the public his discovery. Very noble for a 19-year-old talent.
Later, talking to journalists of the portal , Lucas admitted that although he managed to quickly get around the protection of the iPhone 7, it was not as easy as it might seem. He expressed his respect for Apple's engineers and programmers, saying that the iPhone 7 is definitely a step in the right direction, but the system is still not 100% safe, however, like any other system. Apple representatives refused to comment on the achievements of the hacker.
Luke can easily send information about the security holes found to Apple experts and even get his reward for it, because such discoveries fall under the action of the so-called Bug Bounty program. But the hacker has not yet decided whether he wants to contact the officials of the world's most famous smartphone manufacturer. However, he does not doubt that luck has not only smiled at him, and surely someone else has found a hole in protecting the new gadget. Just yet, no one told about it, hoping to make big money on it. According to experts, jailbreak for today is estimated at an average of $ 500,000.
