The hack has been dubbed checkm8 by a researcher who goes by the name axi0mX, who described the hack as “a permanent unpatchable bootrom exploit for hundreds of millions of iOS devices.” That means hackers can take the code released by axi0mX onand potentially load firmware onto an iPhone. In turn, that means they have stripped Apple’s control away from the device and could do what they wanted on it, though some additional exploits would be required.
