iOS 10.2.1 Jailbreak Tips: How To Spot Fake Jailbreak To Avoid Malware Compromise

We can definitely understand the hype when reports came out that there is an iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak. However, before you get too excited and start going to websites who offer this, experts say you have to be extra careful. Your device, and - most importantly - your security may be compromised.

According to TNH Online, fake iOS jailbreaks are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you can be a victim. Popular hacker groups like PP Jailbreak, TaiG or Pangu have not yet confirmed about an iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak, and so whatever is out there now may not be legitimate.

There are reportedly some fake websites who use the name of official hackers to let users download the "iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak," however, when you do, what you will get is malware instead. The main goal of these malicious contents is to get your personal data.

To avoid this from happening, go to legit jailbreakers' sites only. It would be helpful to know that if what you are after is really the iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak, and we can't stress it enough that this is still not available. What we know is that well-known Italian hacker Luca Todesco canceled his jbme102, but another hacker, Lang Shi, said that his "fully untethered" tool for iOS 10.1-10.2 is "almost ready," based on ValueWalk's report.

Also, if there is a charging fee to download the jailbreak, that's probably not legit too. Additionally, if a website says that they have a money back guarantee, it's best to stay away from them as well. Most importantly, legit jailbreakers do not ask for your personal information before you can download. If a site asks you to put in your name and other data, that's 100 percent fake.

There are also sites who would ask you to do a survey first before you can download. This is definitely fake. Experts say that jailbreakers do not need to know who are using their tools. Go to the official site of these popular hackers to get updates. If an iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak gets released soon, it will be all over the news, so it's best to wait.
