Starbucks Data Breach Plaintiffs Rebuffed by Ninth Circuit -- Krottner v. Starbucks

Apple has apparently dropped access to a jailbreak detection API first added to iOS 4.0 this past summer. Third-party developers of mobile device management software told Network World that the API no longer works in iOS 4.2.1, though Apple never warned that it was being deprecated. Word of a jailbreak detection API appearing in iOS 4.0, combined with the publication of a patent application for disabling an iPhone when an "unauthorized user" is detected, originally stirred fears that Apple might be looking to automatically disable iPhones that were jailbroken. However, such a move would run counter to a Copyright Office ruling that jailbraking was essentially a legal activity . In fact, the detection API was introduced along with a series of APIs designed to improve device management for enterprise deployment. MDM software vendors such as Sybase already used their own methods for detecting jailbreaks, since jailbroken devices can represent a significant security risk.
