Motherboard is reporting that the recent leaks of specific parts of Apple’s iOS source code – including historical iBoot as well as Baseband source relating to several iphone designs – is the work of a former Apple intern with close connections to the jailbreak community.

Many jailbreak as well as safety and security research study lovers as well as experts have been praying to an unknown god over the last few days as significant pieces of Apple’s iOS code has actually dropped into their laps. The leaker as well as source of this code were fairly unknown at the time after it started being shared across social networks, appeared on code-hosting site GitHub, as well as then lastly gathered interest on the Reddit social site.

Now thanks to presumably new information, the theft, as well as leak of the source code are being associated to an Apple intern who is no longer with the company. It seems that the plucky private was interning at Apple when he took the source code, which Apple allegedly already understood about. That source code was then distributed amongst a little circle of his good friends who were included in the jailbreak neighborhood at the time. The theory is that having gain access to to Apple’s interior iOS code – albeit only fairly little pieces – would help their efforts in trying to hack into the iOS platform as well as bypass safety and security steps put in location by Apple.

The report is suggesting that the code was only implied to be seen as well as showed those five individuals, however was eventually shared to a Discord chat group last year before discovering its method onto GitHub last week.

That’s when things truly started to pick up the speed as well as the code started to be shared often across the Internet. It’s being suggested that Apple was already made conscious of the leak before the code was held on GitHub, which isn’t precisely unexpected thinking about it has been passed around popular members of the jailbreak neighborhood for a great few months prior to this break out occurring.

The Cupertino-based business has purchased GitHub to eliminate the code as well as has already publicly responded to the leak. Tim Cook’s guy may not be as well concerned about the release of the code however we’re sure there will be extra repercussions to find for the private who stole it in the very first instance.
