IPhone (1.1.1) and iPod-Touch are hacked

Well, it turns out that this firmware v1.1.1 was not so terrible. The iPhone dev community team managed to not only get access to the phone’s “impenetrable” (as Apple reports) file system, but also managed to crack the SpringBoard application and thus solve the problem of installing third-party applications on the iPhone. As for the iPod Touch, it suffered the same fate. Got full access to system directories and allowed to install third-party applications. But not without bad news. The hacking of the iPhone and iPod Touch was accomplished using just one TIFF exploit using the Safari browser vulnerability, which means that if no other way is found to bypass the protection, Apple will most certainly close this hole by updating v1.1.2.
