Apple has fought back at jailbreakers the only way they can at the moment, really. They’ve figured out a way to program iTunes 8 to detect and prevent the Pwnage exploit. Consider this a warning for all of you jailbreakers out there. If u’re running a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch, it’s probably a good idea to hold off on the 2.1 firmware update that was released the other day.
The iPhone Dev Team has reacted to this development already by saying:
‘The nice thing about iTunes decisions is that we can provide you with patches to counter them. We have one such patch already for Mac iTunes 8 for iPod touch. We’ll be working out the full suite of patches for all the combinations over the next week.’
Hold on to your britches jailbreakers, looks like help is on the way. You can read more at the iPhone Dev Team blog.
