IOS devices use a fairly secure operating system, but also somewhat limited. That is the reason why the jailbreak exists, to be able to do everything that Apple does not want us to do. The problem with 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 Pangu tool they are reporting something concerning.
It seems that some users who jailbroken with Pangu's new tool have seen how several of your accounts have been used in an unauthorized manner, as we can read in Reddit. At this point it seems very important to mention that this problem may be happening just after the last launch of the Chinese hacker team just by coincidence; At the moment it is not confirmed that it bears any relation.
Is the latest Pangu jailbreak safe?
The main reason why the latest jailbreak is mistrusted is that we are asked for our Apple ID at some point in the process. Logically, after performing a process that breaks the chains of iOS, good and bad, in which we have to provide our credentials, the most logical thing is to think that the violation of the accounts has something to do with the last jailbreak, although we repeat what not yet confirmed to be related.
Users who have seen their accounts compromised agree that they used the Windows PPHelper tool, so it is likely that this tool contains malicious code that sends the credentials to a server for further fraudulent use.
So far, affected users say they have accessed their Facebook, PayPal, and credit and debit accounts. Most likely, if it is confirmed that the PPHelper tool is the culprit, the affected users will give their Apple ID and use the same credentials in other accounts, so it is not ruled out that they can also access other accounts in addition to the ones. 3 above.
Saurik trusts Pangu ... but not 25PP
Saurik says he trusts PanguBut not sure of the routes of diffusion that the Chinese hacking team can use. Also, you don't like having to install the 25PP tool. It is assumed that Cydia Impactor, the software with which the jailbreak is installed in its English version and that Saurik himself has created, is clean because it does not install anything from 25PP. The downside is that it works from the 25PP servers and the possibility that they have modified the software is not ruled out, so nothing can be taken for granted. Most of the affected cases have taken place in Asia, but it is not ruled out that it will happen in more countries due to all of the above.
All this shows that we must always be very careful, especially when we jailbreak our device. If any software of questionable origin asks us for our Apple ID, it is best not to give it to them. And if we need some of that software, it's worth creating an account just to go through the process. The question now is: do we trust Pangu?
UPGRADE: Pangu has opened a Reddit account and is investigating the case. They say that MySpace and Tumblr have been hacked this year and they want to know if the affected users used the same credentials. They also say that neither they nor 25pp would be “so stupid to make money hacking into users' PayPal accounts through a jailbreak tool. We hope to discover the truth as soon as possible.
Oysters, it's true !! I have several access emails from different browsers to my account, Be very careful !!
Troll
Do we trust Pangu? Of course NOO. I already mentioned it in a comment, do not give your ID and password to anyone, much less to some Chinese, I hope it serves as a lesson and you do not think that I am against jailbreak, far from it, but the issue of privacy is very important. Greetings to the people of actualidadiphone
It has already been said a thousand times that you did not put your id in the tools but many people are blinded, they do not ask or read, as easy as changing passwords for whom that is stupid and voila and deactivate the card payment method and voila choosing none and 0 problems .
Well, they have already been told that they add a new apple id account just to do the jailbreak, they do not have to use an account with which they have all their personal information except if they have registered some form of payment, create a free account and not put all your personal information, well at least I did it and it works well for me,
On my iphone I have the jailbreak with pangu and an apple id created just for that. For now I have not received any login or anything weird
How can you remove the jail without restoring the terminal?
Ilex RAT, look for a tutorial on youtube or similar
During the jailbreak process he never asked for my ID, so I continued. Is my terminal also vulnerable to these things?
It does not have because Juan, he did not ask me for ID either, but there was one thing that I did not like ... .. I tried to run the PAYPAL app and it did not open with the pp25 jailbreak instead with pangu yes, weird but true. But try !!!!
The paypal app does not open for me either. And my bank does not let me use the touch ID.
Because those applications detect that you have jailbreak. It doesn't matter if it's pangu, saurik, pepe or so-and-so.
Hi, I jailbroken my iPhone 6 plus 9.3.3 with the pangu tool (Chinese version) and it never asked me for an itunes credential, at least I didn't have to put any of that (weird), but it goes from luxury on the iphone. and I have not received any email from unauthorized entry in any of my accounts (facebook, paypal, etc). which does not mean that I trust these Chinese, especially 25pp, because it is rare that they ask you for access to your itunes account. What I recommend to those who ask for an account is that you create a fake iTunes account, because with hackers you always have to be one step ahead.
you have to be mongo to get into that nowadays people seem stupid
Here the only Mongolian is you, hee, if you don't know how to do the jail, the problem is yours, troll
If we have set Apple password, changing it will be enough ????
He asked and I put the real one but I already changed the password
It is best to change the password
Hahahahaha that happens to them for doing the garbage of the jailbreak to their iPhones! If you want customization, buy a damn android that will also see these problems ..
An android is a real rubbish compared to an iPhone that has less support than the domino table in the corner bar tsss that you know crazy
-1 and I am the first to criticize this jailbrelk they have nothing to do with android with the jailbeak
Shut up, clown
I did it with the Chinese tool the same day it came out and putting the apple id (new account for that), and I checked the email associated with that account and I have no email attempting to access the account
Thanks !!, it works perfectly… Cydia's Sibstratw theme… how much alarmist there is…
I did the jailbreak on Wednesday and I did not have to give my Apple ID or my password at any time, I do not know how we will open it, I am sure that nothing will happen to me
Another clown recommending lagdroid. Go to another forum with your lagdroid and customize it as much as you want
Wow, are you allowed to call everyone a clown? Well, here is my contribution: IMBECIL.
PS: It shows that you have stayed in IOS 5 to talk about lagdroid, pringao.
To have jail, better Android
I do not know if the hacker the jb if quivers havelock Pedro despise of Estonia gives me Mindoro jijijijijij it sounds like terror sequel to verdant I do not know Poe that they have the Apple ID that demean Asher the jailbreak that combo quivers cope ramps for developers
The tool did not ask me for my Apple ID, I had a new one ready but it did not ask me
It was not until the iPhone started that he asked me and I put the good
To install the Saurik tool you must have developer access if you did not have to repeat the process every week
The JB has not been safe, it may have been more or much more before than now, but it never was
