PSN 2.2 Million Credit Cards , Up For Sale? What About Yours ?

That's horrible  when we hear about rumors telling that PSN database containing around 2.2 million credit card details and they are up to sale to the highest bidder, this more than horrible. What about your credit card ?

Some hackers -still unknown- are now offering Sony to sell them back cridet card details or they gonna offer them up on underground credit card trading forums.

The really disturbing part of this is the news that these details actually include the CCV security code that until now was believed to be safe. With that code married to the card owner’s name as well as the rest of the card details then the card could be used without a hiccup – news that will no doubt send a shudder down many spines at Sony HQ as well as the70 million plus PSN members who’s data could have been compromised.

Warning : Please keep an eye on your credit card if you registered it in PSN, track it by online banking services, SMS or any other method (Let your friends know).

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.7 iPhone 4 Verizon Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 [Windows Guide]

iH8sn0w the well-know iPhone hacker has just released Sn0wbreeze 2.6.1 to untethered jailbreak for Verizon iPhone 4 on iOS 4.2.7.

sn0wbreeze 2.6.1: Verizon love!

Well, after i0n1c released his untether exploit for 4.3.1, Apple shortly pushed out 4.3.2 AND 4.2.7. i0n1c’s payload was ported over to 4.3.2 in a short period of time but not 4.2.7. This made Verizon users very frustrated.

I originally ordered a Verizon iPhone 4 for my upcoming SHSH blobs dumper. Then I + many others on twitter realized that an untether was not available for 4.2.7. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sick and didn’t do much, but today I was finally able to get the strength to work on this Verizon untether. Since i0n1c’s payload is not easily reversible, I went to previous exploits.

After trying, pod2g’s + posixninja’s kernel exploit for 4.2.x is STILL in 4.2.7! After some more work, I managed to get this thing untethered!

So, this new release includes that new payload to untether + jailbreak 4.2.7.

Jailbreak your Verizon iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.7 (How to Guide):

• You can follow previous guide (used to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2) Found Here, to jailbreak your Verizon iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.7. Don't forget to choose 4.2.7 instead 4.3.2.

Icy For iOS 4.3.X Jailbroken iOS Devices Is Now Available Again As A Lighter & Faster Alternative To Cydia

Back in the early days of jailbreaking, there was a young Cydia competitor going by the name of Icy. Working in a similar way to Cydia, Icy was always the faster, smoother and generally shinier app aggregator and download service. Unfortunately development on the app was ceased but now it’s on its way back, and you can download a beta version right now.

Now compatible with all versions of iOS up to, and including 4.3.2, Icy has had a few tweaks and a new lick of paint but it’s still the same old Icy you might remember.

Icy will be available for download next week, but if you can’t wait, iSpazio has a beta available to download right now, should the urge take you. Just add the http://repo.ispazio.net as Cydia repository and search for Icy.

Jailbreak iOS 4.4 / 4.3.3 , Will be Easy ?

As I reported you earlier that Apple intend to release iOS 4.4 / 4.3.3 firmware update by the next few weeks to fix tracking issue. Most likely that huge number of iOS device users will be interested in this update to protect themself from such silly tracking. But what about iOS 4.4 / 4.3.3 jailbreak ?

Apparently, that Apple's developers are concentrating on the major issue which is tracking, so that it's highly expected that Apple won't patch i0n1c's untether exoplit which used on the current jailbreak tools to jailbreak iOS 4.3.2, most likely you will get Redsn0w 0.9.6rc15 immidiately after iOS 4.4 / 4.3 official released to jailbreak iOS 4.4 / 4.3.3.

Anyway this still not confirmed, we will let you informed with updates once iOS 4.4 / 4.3.3 released officially.

Compare Original and Counterfeit Gevey Sim for iPhone4

The counterfit sim tray has a larger font, and the GEVEY symbol is not as detailed. The sim tray is cheaply made, slightly smaller and has a more polish look. The genuine GEVEY sim tray is an exact color of the iPhone 4 body.

Notice that the counterfeit circuit design is different, where as the genuine is much smoother.

The majority of the problems with the counterfeit is that they are poorly made. They used an older model IC chip which is larger in size. To make it fit into the iPhone 4, the chip is sanded down making the internal guts exposed to air. With the sand down IC chip you will have overheating issues.

iPad 2 Jailbreak 4.3.2 / 4.3.1 / 4.3 New Updates

Good news for iPad 2 users, few hours ago, veeence -which considered as a trusted source for jailbreak news- has announced that iPad 2 jailbreak is almost developed. According to veeence sources, iPad 2 jailbreak will be based on userland exploit which means that we will get something like JailbreakME which will be able to jailbreak iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.2 / 4.3.1 / 4.3.

Apparently an A5 (iPad2) jailbreak is almost developed. There's no release plan tho. What you get when security researchers investigate...

darkus6: so it's bootROM level, rigth? And which security researchers
Veeence: very likely userland. @i0n1c & @msuiche

Gamal_Sabry: will this support 4.3.2 ?
Veeence:yea, almost sure.

Sure you asking now about when iPad 2 jaiblreak released ? till now there is no ETA for iPad 2 jailbreak so we have to wait for the official word from iPhone dev-team. By the way, you have to know that Chronic-dev team is working now parellel with dev-team to jailbreak iPad 2 with Greenpois0n. Let's wait and see who will win this battle.

Note: If you have an iPad 2 running iOS 4.3 don't upgrade to upper version until official word from dev-team.

Resn0w 0.9.6rc13 to Bring Untethered 4.3.2 Jailbreak Soon

Some exciting news about  iOS 4.3.2 untethered jailbreak. Few minute ago the well know iPhone hacker i0n1c has just confimred -via his Twitter- that Apple didn't patch his untethered exploit which brings unthered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.2 on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 4G, iPod touch 3G, iPad and Apple TV 2G.

 

I won’t be able to create all the untether binaries before sunday, because I will be on planes, …

Does that mean that we can use the current Reds0w 0.9.6rc12 and PwnageTool 4.3? Of course NO, as i0n1c mentioned above that he will develop his unterhed jailbreak so we expect to see Redsn0w 0.9.6rc13 and new built of PwnageTool 4.3.

Expected date to released iOS 4.3.2 untethered jailbreak ? i0n1c did not announce certain date for untethered iOS 4.3.2 jailbreak, but I highly expect to see it by the next weekend.

Warning: UltrasnOw Unlockers to Stay Away from Latest iOS 4.3.2 Update, Save Your SHS

Apple has just released iOS 4.3.2 update with some improvements and major bug fixes. MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has issued an extreme alert for those folks who rely on Ultrasn0w unlock; UltraSn0w unlockers should stay away from today’s iOS 4.3.2 update while others must save their SHSH blobs certainly before updating their firmwares from iOS 4.3.1 to iOS 4.3.2.

Quote:

ultrasn0w unlockers stay away from today’s iOS 4.3.2! Everyone else, make sure you have your 4.3.1 SHSH blobs saved. Apple sure is aggressively patching these untethered jailbreaks lately (but that’s still better than lawsuits)

It means that the Apple’s new iOS 4.3.2 update surely breaks the I0n1c’s untether, so it is necessary to save your SHSH blob backups if you decide to update to latest iOS 4.3.2.

Rebel Micro Sim Card, A New Future-Proof Untethered Unlock For iPhone 4

These days we are seeing very many MicroSim can finally unlock the phone part of iPhone 4 foreigners, so they can be used with any SIM International. After CutYourSim, today we present another: Micro Rebel Sim Card

Unlike the service offered by CutYourSim, this method is much cheaper and affordable. In fact a price of $ 65 for the full version (compared to $ 168 CutYourSim) and $ 48 for the lite version of the release.

The difference between the two types lies in the support for the SIM. In the lite version, the chip release is outside the compartment of MicroSim and is in fact requiring special care to maintain the secure chip. In the full version, however, provides a special support for the SIM card with the chip built-in release.

Here are a few explanatory:

This method is compatible with iPhone 4 column iOS 4.0, 4.1, 4.2.1, 4.3 and 4.3.1 with baseband 1:59:00, 2:10:04, 3:10:01and 4:10:01. This method does not require any jailbreak.

Find more information on the full release here , while the lite version you can go to this address.
