General Should I unjailbreak my iDevice?

[Guest unknownuser28]

All pirate repos risk having this issue.

 

If you remember the news earlier, a jailbreak tweak can check if it was purchased legitimately and if it wasn't, it had the possibility to render your device useless.

 

Install openssh server through Cydia

Connect to the device through SSH

Go to /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/, and grep for these strings to all files under this directory:

wushidou

gotoip4

bamu

getHanzi

If any dylib file contains any one of these strings, we urge users to delete it and delete the plist file with the same filename, then reboot the device.

We also suggest all affected users change their Apple account password after removing the malware, and enable two-factor verifications for Apple IDs.

Our primary suggestion for those who want to prevent KeyRaider and similar malware is to never jailbreak your iPhone or iPad if you can avoid it. At this point in time, there aren’t any Cydia repositories that perform strict security checks on apps or tweaks uploaded to them. Use all Cydia repositories at your own risk.

Does unjailbreaking it gives back my "security layers?"

Also dude! Just delete mobile substrate and bam! The virus is ineffective!

It hooked onto that now it has gone, so just install it again.

Even Non-Jailbroken devices can get hacked..
