3 steps to protect your iOS 6 jailbreak

By Jeff Benjamin on Feb 12, 2013

When you consider the amount of hard work that went into providing the public with an iOS 6 jailbreak, and how long it took for that solution to come to fruition, protecting the jailbreak is of paramount concern.

Perhaps most importantly, the new version of SemiTether will protect your iOS 5 Notification Center plugins… Read More
