How to Fix the PDF Exploit in the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad

2010-08-03
hey guys so today I'm here with a video showing you how to prevent the big exploit in iPhone iPod touch and iPad so basically the way it works is that there is a big gigantic hole and all the iDevices will basically allow anyone to totally overtake your device just like you know you get a BIOS on Windows well it's the worst the same way on your iPhone and iPod touch and iPad basically all you have to do is just go to any website that is set up and it will automatically without you having to do anything besides just going to that specific website will go ahead and download your contacts literally do anything it wants to do now actually the jailbreak jailbreak me uses this hole as well however this is okay as obviously you're only going here and you actually have to slide over this is actually something you want to do and they're only just jailbreaking they're not you know trying to hack you however after you've done this you will probably want to go ahead and seal up the hole or at least keep people from activating it so easily contrary to what a lot of people are saying right now but actually this will affect anybody whether your jailbroken or not now if you're not jailbroken there is literally nothing you can do than just to be sure to stay on you know reputable websites and just be really really cautious however if your jailbroken throws a past you can go ahead and download but while it won't totally fix that bug it will at least give you some warning before someone tries to hack your iPhone or iPod Touch so in-city go ahead and just hit search come up to the top here you can just type in P D yeah mm-hm so here it is basically go ahead and just download this basically it will give you a warning whenever a PDF starts to load somebody's go ahead and show you what that means so we're gonna go ahead and go back to jailbreak me obviously this is this is used as the PDF but in reality it would probably be a website that would not even give you wouldn't say slash jeopardy it would just automatically do it the second you touch the website let's go ahead and just pretend we're gonna do this and then here we go instead of just automatically loading it it will actually ask you do you want to load the PDF as they could really give you you know a lot of problems as far as security and then people could hack you know out kind of stuff if you I can go ahead and continue to load if you know someone you trust otherwise you're going to cancel back out and you are totally one good to go anyway guys I just wanted to share this a little bit of information with you hopefully keep you know your iPhones and iPods and even your iPad safe I wouldn't really be extremely worried about this even if you're not jailbroken but still it's something that if you are jailbroken it's really simple to go ahead and add it and make sure that you are secure and you're not just going to be hacked and you know have a lot of problems anyway guys thanks for watching
