Difficulty of bricking an iOS device
- "(unless very specifically designed to do so by a malicious person, which has not been seen "in the wild")" --- Wasn't this seen here recently with the nvram hack that was discovered here?? Given it hasn't been used in an actual tweak or a package yet... MWoolweaver (talk) 16:28, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- What I meant by this sentence is that nobody has deployed this method maliciously/intentionally in a package on any repository that I've heard of - they have all so far been clearly marked as dangerous "proof of concept" packages/instructions, not meant to trick you. In other words, it's not "in the wild" as a malicious tweak that people might randomly run into right now. I'd welcome revising this sentence with alternate phrasing that makes this more clear.
