Apple, mistakenly, unpatched a bug in latest iOS 12.4 that was fixed in iOS 12.3 – causing all up-to-date iPhones vulnerable to jailbreaking by hackers. This is the first publicly available jailbreak for latest iOS in years.

Jailbreaking – Jailbreak refers to the process of gaining root access to the iOS operating system that runs on Apple devices, including the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Jailbreaking frees the device from dependence on Apple as the exclusive source of applications, allowing users to install third-party apps unavailable at the official App Store. Users can also customize their home screens and modify the appearance of icons and menus. Jailbreaking is sometimes a prelude to unlocking an iPhone or modifying its baseband so that the unit can work with other mobile networks. More Info
