Evasi0n Jailbreak killled by iOS 6.1.3

Summary
Nowadays everyone is using a smartphone doesn't matter if it's an iOS system or an android system there is always a hack to hack your phone. For iOS systems it's called a jailbreak there is a lot of teams out there who develop a jailbreaking software for us users to use. There are a lot of teams doing the same thing but one of the most famous one is the evad3rs, which they create the software called Evasi0n. Now with Apple's newest update iOS 6.1.3 it updates a lot of things to avoid users from jailbreaking. One of the makers called MuscleNerd pointed out on his twitter that Apple have founded 4 of 6 of the security flaws credited for the evad3rs. Now that Apple have found the flaw they patched the new update so the jailbreakers should stay away from it. MuscleNerd have mentioned that his team is working on trying to jailbreak this software, and not for long iOS 6.1.3 will be jailbroken and be used by users again. There is a website that shows how to save and protect your iOS 6 jailbreak, by clicking here.

Major Concept
  • Apple's new release of iOS 6.1.3
  • Shows the constant battle between the Apple team and the jailbreakers team.
  • The advance in technology and how good people are at hacking and finding new ways to hack a software.  
Potential Strength/Advantages 
  •  Improve our ability to help people using technology.
  • Shows how develop our technology have been.
  • Shows the power of hacking.

Potential Strength/Disadvantage
  • People might be inspired by this and hack even more things like government website, banks, etc.
  •  It's like a constant technology battle between Apple and jailbreakers, if it keeps going on this way it could causes some problems.

Discussion Question
  • How did the jailbreakers team manage to break through every time there is a new release? Is Apple letting them break through or is Apple's security really bad?
  •  Why does Apple care so much that people are jailbreaking, I heard most of the Apple employees have their iPhone jailbroken because it will give the iPhone it's full potential. Why does Apple not letting the user use the phone's full potential?
