If your IOS device has been secretly jailbroken, something fishy is probably going on. The only problem is, it can be impossible to tell that your iPhone has been hacked into.
However, a new iPhone app called System and Security Info has managed to do, topping the paid apps chart ahead of some of the world’s most famous games.
Jailbreaking an iOS device lets users gain more control over their shiny gadgets, meddling with the operating system, tweaking the iOS user interface and even allowing apps to be installed from third-party app stores.
Moreover, if a phone is secretly jailbroken, malicious people can use that fact to steal information from the phone including photos, messages and everything that the phone sees or hears.
The System and Security Info app, developed by security researcher Stefan Esser, checks the phone to see whether it might have been interfered with by such malicious people.
It provides a clear, color-coded indicator as to whether your iPhone or iPad has been jailbroken or not.
