Beware of Cyber Criminals: Fake GreenPois0n for iOS 4.1 in circulation!

The wait for jailbreaking tools for iOS 4.1 has once again provided a breeding ground for cyber criminals. Be warned of a fake tool that is circulating around the net under the name of GreenPois0n. This fake tool is claiming to jailbreak all iOS devices from 4.0.2 and above. In fact, the fake tool is a very dangerous malware which upon running will steal passwords from your iOS device or PC or both. Be warned, this “tool” is not the real GreenPois0n that is expected to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on iPhone 4, iPod touch and iPad upon release
According to security experts at Kaspersky:
Cyber criminals have definitely been riding the buzz around the supposed jailbreaking tool. It’s presumed to be called “Greenpois0n” and it’s expected to be released any day now. Not surprisingly, we’ve seen a number of fake “Greenpois0n” Trojans.
For the time being, it is advisable not to search for the Greenpois0n on torrent sites- unless you are ready for a crude surprise. In addition to the above, fake jailbreaking websites are selling the tool for as much as 40$. Please stay away from such sites as GreenPois0n has not been released yet. In fact, if you do not want to be scammed, stay away from ALL sites that provide jailbreaking tools for a fee. TechWizPie will keep you updated once the genuine GreenPois0n tool for jailbreaking iOS 4.1 is released.
