With the release of iOS 8.2, Apple closed a MobileStorageMounter vulnerability in iOS, crediting the TaiG Jailbreak Team. That's in addition to the four TaiG vulnerabilities that were closed in iOS 8.1.3.

Details of the security update were posted alongside the release of iOS 8.2 earlier today.

MobileStorageMounter
● Available for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later
● Impact: A malicious application may be able to create folders in trusted locations in the file system
● Description: An issue existed in the developer disk mounting logic which resulted in invalid disk image folders not being deleted. This was addressed through improved error handling.
● CVE-2015-1062 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

It really doesn't matter what Apple is doing whether is closing all these vulnerability holes. We must admit we are all humans,we all make mistakes,they are eventually someone some where is going to make mistakes. Thats all the hacker were looking for. Jailbreak will never die,Apple should realize and never attempt to discourage hackers, Thats where good ideas come from My 2 cents

Apple doesn't discourage hackers. They simply have no choice but to close the security holes when they tell everyone in the world about them.

They simply push it out to open more holes making other teams find more vulnerabilities. And the cat and mouse game will never end hahahahaha.

I think even apple is now seeing these guys for what they truly are. Legitimate security researchers.
