Jailbreak solutions are humiliating for Tim Cook and Apple and I make this statement by bringing to your attention an article written in the morning in which I am reporting Tim Cook's reaction to the claims of the White House to have unrestricted access to iOS and user data.
For more than 1 year, Tim Cook has been leading a public policy of convincing the whole world that operating systems must be free of data access ports for government agencies and vulnerabilities that allow access to user data without their consent.
Tim Cook advocates for strengthening the security of operating systems and has imposed that iOS should natively have encrypted data when a security code and Touch ID are used, the information from the terminals being impossible to read without the user's consent.
Government agencies are trying hard to convince Apple to give them access to iOS, but even with court orders they cannot obtain information from the criminals' iDevices, Apple claiming that it cannot obtain access to password-protected terminals, nor decrypt their data.
In addition, iMessage and FaceTime use an advanced security system that prevents the interception of messages or voice/video calls, so Apple tells the whole world that it protects its users extremely well from malicious government agencies.
Of course, the NSA, CIA and other entities have secret iOS exploits that allow them to access data from terminals, but only with physical access to the device and only in certain cases, so the FBI and the police cannot benefit from them for ordinary cases .
Now this policy of Tim Cook must also be supported by results, and every time a jailbreak solution for iOS appears, the Apple CEO receives a hard slap from hackers who tell him directly that his operating system is not enough well protected.
In the face of a public jailbreak solution, Tim Cook can no longer affirm, in theory, that iOS is safe and that Apple does not have access to data, but it does and still publicly refuses to give the government access to user information .
Until now, the authorities have not publicly questioned Apple about the jailbreak solutions and the exploits used in them that provide full access to the operating system, but they are a very big problem for Tim Cook and Apple in the context of promoting a total security policy for users.
Since Tim Cook started supporting the additional security of iOS, jailbreak solutions have started to appear less often and to be valid for shorter periods of time, and this will most likely never change.
