Apple hires iPhone hacker

Just over a month after the release of iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0, the “telephone” version of Mac OS was successfully hacked. Thanks to the ubiquitous and omnipotent hackers, instructions and software for unlocking the phone from Apple appeared on the Web. It seems that Apple is not happy with the situation that has developed with the security of the iPhone. And in order to somehow rectify the situation, the company decided to hire one of these hackers.

Attentive makovods from arstechnica.com found on Apple’s website the " iPhone Security Engineer " vacancy , in which they were looking for a talented candidate for security architecture tests for the iPhone. Here are some of the requirements for applicants:

• Review and review security features implemented in OS X
• Conducting attacks on existing security mechanisms
• Development of new and innovative ways to improve safety while maintaining ease of use

The timing of this vacancy is not surprising. Apple is actively promoting the iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0 as products ready for the corporate sector. The company is accused of being too slow in patching holes in the iPhone OS, one of which "opens the door" for phishing attacks .

In general, if anyone has the ability to hack, the relevant experience, or you are just a ninja programmer, then do not miss the chance to get a job with one of the world's IT leaders!
