It was even faster than expected. One week ago, Apple launched its iPhone 3G. Apple claimed that this time, unlocking would be unbreakable. Remember that it took one month last summer to first hackers to unlock the iPhone (see newsletter n°7). As always, our law 1 proved to be true: Attackers will always find their way. Already two attacks are available. A team of Brazilian hackers has unlocked it using a SIM card emulator. We are now waiting for the software-based unlock. iDev Team has jailbroken the iPhone 3G allowing access to its system. First step in that direction. Jailbreaking allows to add homebrew applications to the phone.
