Apple hires iPhone hacker

Just over a month after the release of the iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0, the “phone” version of Mac OS was successfully cracked. Thanks to the ubiquitous and omnipotent hackers, instructions and software for unlocking Apple's phone appeared on the Web. It seems that Apple does not like the situation that has developed with the security of the iPhone. And in order to somehow remedy the situation, the company decided to hire one of these hackers to work.

Attentive makovody from arstechnica.com found on the Apple website a vacancy " iPhone Security Engineer ", within which they are looking for a talented challenger for security architecture tests for the iPhone. Here are some of the requirements for applicants:

• Review and compile feedback on security mechanisms implemented in OS X
• Attacking existing security mechanisms
• Developing new and innovative ways to improve safety while maintaining ease of use

The time of appearance of such a vacancy is not surprising. Apple is actively promoting iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0 as products ready for the corporate sector. The company is accused of patching holes in the iPhone OS too slowly, one of which “opens the door” to phishing attacks .

In general, if anyone has the ability to crack, relevant experience, or you are just a programmer – ninja, then do not miss the chance to take a job at one of the world's IT leaders!
