Earlier quoted context omitted.

Out of interest, why do you care if your users run your application on a jailbroken device? It’s been a question I’ve had for a while..

Same reason as why rooted Android devices get blocked by certain applications. Security for the user's sake. Usually it's financial applications (banking etc.) and stuff with sensitive user information.

As an Android user, this is super annoying: I rooted the device because I want to control it. Now some stupid app comes along and claims that, for my own protection (supposedly), they're going to break for me. It's insulting, really.

> We strongly urge all journalists, activists, and politicians to upgrade to an iPhone that was released in the past two years with an A12 or higher CPU. This makes no sense. The data of these VIPs is not in (more) danger due to this new jailbreak appearing. It sounds like a cheap trick to make people buy new phones.

"checkm8 doesn't allow law enforcement to decrypt the phone, but it does allow them to rootkit it with 30 seconds of unattended access. Once it's unlocked by the user they'd get everything they need." That sounds like something more than a little worrying to the listed groups of people, no?

So if the phone is out of your sight, reboot. And now you're clean again.
