[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 842254, member: 298987"] It depends how you define "safe" If you ask apple they`ll more than likely tell you all kinds of horror stories about people loosing credit card info or being spied on by hackers but as far as I`m aware it`s all tosh As long as Telnet is not enabled on the device no one can gain access (dont qoute me on that but I`m 99% sure) and Telnet is disabled by default I think What data did it say it was taking from the device? When using redsn0w, I don`t think that takes any data from the device but it does use a weakness in the IOS to inject a new kernal that gves root access to the filesystem to allow custom mods and so forth I would have thought it was safe though as there would be literally thousands if not millions of jailbreakers commenting online about it and there would be warnings all over the net I can`t say 100% that it is safe but if any flaws or issues where found in the software (and they would be because every wannabe jailbreake dev on the net will be reverse engineering the software to try and better it or sell it on for profit) we`d have known about it before now Just remember, as long as you are not using a custom firmware or a pre-cooked downloaded firmware, and you don`t rely on the jailbreak for any unlocks, you can do an iTunes restore to wipe the jailbreak and return the device back to factory standard (and as long as you don`t mess with the baseband, apple shouldn`t be able to tell it was ever jailbroken [/QUOTE]
