Ios boot code has been leaked by an apple worker

All mobile operating systems use a boot code that prevents users from installing other operating systems as well as unauthorized software, this is what is generally known as bootloader, a term that Android users are very familiar with but that can be little known to Apple users. Apparently, an Apple worker would have leaked the source code of the iOS bootloader.

The bootloader or iOS boot code is responsible for booting the iPhone and iPad, the devices that are based on this prestigious mobile operating system from the Cupertino company.

Apparently a low-ranking worker within Apple would have grabbed the code in question and leaked it to a few acquaintances, who were working within the jailbreak community. This would have obtained an important help in finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in Apple's mobile operating system.

As usually happens in these cases, someone's finger is gone and the code has been made available to everyone, as it is available on GitHub so that anyone can access it. From Apple they have already spoken to reassure the users of their devices, since the company considers that only by accessing the source code it is not possible to compromise the security of iOS.
