Those clever hackers. You can now jailbreak your iOS device simply by going to jailbreakme.com in Mobile Safari and sliding your finger across the screen. Wait a couple minutes and – done. You can now install anything you want on your phone just from visiting a website.

Mad props to the Dev Team for such a feat.

But what if this was used for nefarious purposes? Talk about a security vulnerability: visit a website, click a link and someone has root access to your phone: usernames, passwords, email, contact lists, etc.

While everyone is lauding the act (as well they should), it’s important to keep in mind that this exploits a security vulnerability – and a big one by the look of it.
