So I'm tinkering around with a 3gs it has cydia so I am assuming it has been jailbroken trying to side load apps and I come across this information, quoted verbatim
Step 1: Open your SSH program (Winscp/Cyberduck etc.)
Step 2: Enter the IP address of your iPhone/iDevice into the “host” field (Settings -> Wifi -> Tap the blue icon next to the network you are on and you will get your IP address)
Step 3: Now, enter ‘root’ for username and ‘alpine’ for password (if alpine does not work, use ‘dottie’)
And it worked.
Now in my mind I think, I am on a private wifi network.
1. People have access to my phone on a public network?
2. In a security lapse over a 3G, LTE network, would it be possible to access this phone from anywhere?
3. Is there a way to change this password?
4. If this is a loophole, where did it begin?
Regards,
