cases of exploitation.
It's because the guy who find the vulnerabilities is good guy (at least judging by reading the article) he doesn't want to share a proof-of-concept exploit.
We don't want to imagine him sharing the exploits to public or selling to "bad guys", but who knows, given certain situations and conditions a good guy can become a bad guy.

dukaki, 03 Oct 2015Xcode 7 allows anyone to self-sign an app and run it on any... moreMy point is still valid, jailbroken iDevices are never more secure than jailed iDevices, I NEVER said that jailed iDevices are more secure.
Even before xcode 7 released, and without xcodeghost, it's still possible to install malicious apps by signing them with enterprise certificate, but in reality without easy RW access to outside app's sandbox, the potential of those apps to do harm are quite limited.
Yes we know and realisr that in this day and age, there's no real secure environment be it software or real life.

Android users just can't accept that their OS is more vulnerable than Apple's iOS. To every time there is a threat on Android, they come up with some type of defense mechanism, lol.

that's the biggest security flaw of android.
1. Someone terribly evil reading android codes.
2. Then he finds a security flaws in those codes.
3. Then he used that flaws to hack billion of android devices.
4. 2 Months later a good person also read those codes.
5. He also found the flaws, but since he is a good person, he report that to google.
6. Then google fix it.

Btw, apple's own appstore in china had apps infected with xcodeghost. Codesigning cannot save you.

Dont think all android users are like you who has time to waste and fix the exploit themselves. Can you imagine a doctor, engineers, bankers, managers... professionals tinkering around on fixing orupdating their android, they dont have time for that, they are very busy with their work and responsibilites with their lives
Thats why we buy branded phones so that we dont have to worry and do the fixing on our phones, the OEMS are suppost to do that not the users.

But as users you are dependent on developers kindness, right?
And Jailbroken iDevices are never ever more secure than jailed iDivices due to ability to run unsigned code.
