Haccers from the iPhone Dev Team hacked the new iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone firmware during the first day

The IOS 4.2.1 version released this week, the operating system, which is controlled by the iPhone smartphone and the iPad tablet computer, has become vulnerable to hacking and installing unofficial applications less than a day after the release. The release of the relevant program was announced on Tuesday by the Khaker group iPhone Dev Team, RIA Novosti reports.

Computer security experts, however, warn that gaps in the operating system can be the same by the same success to the attackers to spread viruses.

The Jailbreak Redsn0W 0.9.6b4 program presented by them is based on vulnerability, which he had previously discovered and used to circumvent the previous versions of iOS Hacker with the GEOHOT pseudonym. The method uses a gap found in a micro -oprogram providing the loading of the operating system (Boot ROM).

Jailbreak allows you to open access to the device file system and install applications obtained from sources different from the official Apple App Store online store, developers say.

The method is applicable for hacking the iPhone smartphone and the IPod Touch player of the latest generations, as well as the iPad tablet, regardless of the installed version of the iOS.

According to hackers, using Redsn0W 0.9.6b4 you can hack all modern Apple mobile devices with the new iOS 4.2.1. However, the device will have to be connected to the computer whenever the gadget needs to be reloaded or the battery charge will dry up until the device is completely de -energized. According to hackers, they are working on "eliminating this inconvenience."

Apple's comments have not yet been received.

The amendments to the United States, adopted in June, copy the digital era (DMCA - Digital Millennium Copyright Act) legitimately, including the iPhone, to install any software, as well as the elimination of the phone binding to the network of a certain operator.

Apple now cannot attract crackers to the court, but continues to fight hackers, in particular releasing updated firmware. In addition, in the framework of the fight against free applications for its products, the company refuses to service to those customers who find non -regional software on phones.
