Apple’s new iOS refurbish to iOS 4.0.2 managed to close the PDF confidence hole that could be used by malicious hackers to steal data from your iPhone. The refurbish managed to tighten the hole upon a iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and the brand-new iPhone 4.

What about the strange iPhone, or iPhone 2G and a initial generation iPod Touch, Apple has not released the confidence update to repair this hole, so how do you have certain which your strange iPhone or iPod Touch is secure?

Ironically the usually approach to do this at the moment is jailbreak it, a single you have jailbroken your iPhone 2G, you will afterwards be means to download the PDF patch from Cydia which will repair a hole.

It really is utterly funny which Apple have not asked to fix this security hole in a iPhone 2G, as well as yet the jailbreaking community have bound it for them, you can find out some-more sum over at a iPhone Dev Team.
