Saturday, the renowned hacker group Unc0ver has released a new jailbreak tool which can unlock all iPhones that run on iOS 11 through iOS 13.5, which is basically almost all iPhones that are used today. Despite Apple having applied strict safeguards to prevent unauthorized apps from being installed in their phones, hacker communities such as Unc0ver continued to flourish over the years.
Although jailbreaks in some instances can lead to malicious activity, researchers generally support jailbreak efforts because the expanded access such tools provide helps them better test security breaches and develop stronger protective measures.
Users who install jailbreak tools may enjoy enhanced customization but also risk stealth attacks from unvetted third-party sources.
The latest utility is the first one built on a zero-day vulnerability in years. Its lead developer, who goes by the name Pwn20wnd, insists the jailbreak is stable and does not interfere with Apple's user data protections.
