It’s a few weeks after the All Star break in baseball, but it looks like this week may be All Star week for iOS jailbreakers. Or at least that’s what this photo suggests. The group shown includes Jay Freeman (aka Saurik, founder of Cydia and Dev Team member) ,geohot (the original unlocker of the iPhone and boy wonder jailbreaker), and P0sixninja and JayWalker and other stars of the jailbreak scene.
It was taken at a party hosted by POsixninja at the DEF CON security conference in Las Vegas.

Thanks to Dusty for the heads-up on this. If any of you want to give us the full list of who’s who in the photo that would be just splendid.

Apple made it quite clear they would be fixing the security hole discovered in Safari soon, and sure enough, here’s iOS 4.3.4 to close it up. The so-called PDF exploit was recently, um, exploited by hackers to create the jailbreakme.com site, an untethered system which took just seconds to free your phone from Apple’s hold.
Syncing your iPhone with iTunes will bring up the ‘new firmware’ notification, which you may want to think twice before accepting depending on your situation. If you’ve already jailbroken your phone, then updating to the new version of iOS will certainly cancel that, or may cause problems of a more serious nature.
Furthermore, if you’re planning to jailbreak your phone using jailbreakme, then updating would obviously not be the best idea either! Otherwise, feel free to plug in your phone and update away, as any update recommended for security reasons is worthwhile applying.
If you’re wondering if anything exciting is included aside from the security fix, don’t bother, as that’s all there is.
Surely this will represent the final version of iOS 4 before the release of iOS 5?
