As you guys know, there was a pretty significant iCloud account attack reported recently, in which nearly a quarter of a million iCloud accounts were exposed to potential compromise. The number of accounts that were actually hacked is up for debate, but it was less than half of the reported 220,000~ or so iCloud accounts exposed.
Of course, many took this attack as an opportunity to lecture about the reasons why we shouldn't jailbreak. While such a lecture isn't necessarily ill-intentioned, I think that most people who jailbreak understand that there are some inherited risks associated with doing so.
It's not like accidentally downloading an infected app on your computer, or an ill-advised clicking on a shady email link. Those who jailbreak generally know that there are some security risks involved, at least partially. The problem is, many don't understand that there are effective ways to protect one's self.
How do you go about ensuring that you're as safe as possible while maintaining a jailbroken iPhone? The following steps will show you how.
