I think the argument that a jailbroken iPhone is automatically less secure is not a solid one. SSH is not installed by default when you jailbreak, for starters. Also, there have been vulnerabilities in the past, and there will be again, that involve core services and protocols that are in use on non-jailbroken devices (cough, Safari). Thing is, when those come along, a stock user can do nothing except wait for Apple to issue an update, and their phone will use the defauly passwords for the two admin accounts because they have no way to change them. A jailbreak user can make the password changes easily and can even use things like a very effective firewall app to monitor and control any apps that attempt any outbound connections.

yes you are right on that. but many just go about without making the changes.. which leaves their devices vulnerable. Now iKee is just one issue, there can be others that just grow and expand to other devices.... and that is the major issue
