Although Apple presents the iPhone as a secure terminal, whose content cannot be accessed very easily through unorthodox methods, here are 2 security experts who want to disappoint us and announce that the iPhone OS is very easy to "crack" even when the phone is locked and protected with a PIN password. Security experts tested the security measures implemented by Apple in iPhone OS 3.1.3 and discovered that the data inside the iPhone OS is quite easily accessible to a well-trained hacker.
The test was done on an iPhone 3GS without jailbreak and even though it had set a PIN and was blocked, the 2 experts managed to gain access to almost all the phone's system files, and from here to obtaining total control over the phone with security is not much anymore, and this is a gratifying thing for those who need a jailbreak, but disastrous for those who keep important data on the phone. Practically at the moment, a capable person could enter your phone and do what he wants with it without you having any idea about what is happening.
I hope the Dev Team has read the full article of the 2 experts and if they still don't have a jailbreak solution (although I doubt it), they now have a place to start to make a possible jailbreak solution for iPhone OS 4.0.
