iFunBox - A big securoty Threat

If you have jailbroken your devices, you have basically disabled all the security. The only malware in existence for iOS can only affect jailbroken devices. This is not a "major security risk on iOS," it's a major security risk you have brought on yourself by entirely disabling your phone's security features.

Also, note that discussion of jailbroken iOS devices is strictly forbidden here. Do not be surprised if the moderators remove this discussion.

I would strongly recommend that you restore your iOS devices to factory settings, to remove the jailbreak and restore all the security.

There is no iFunbox app on iOS.

I found iFunbox for the Mac and installed it on a test system. I see nothing, despite my iPad and iPhone being on the same network. I'm guessing that this means the devices need to be connected physically to the computer in order for iFunbox to access them, but I'm not willing to test that.

Note that it's not surprising for the app to be able to access a lot when connected physically. If it's able to access things stored by a password protected app, that should be taken as an indication that that app is not actually secure. If it were using encryption, it would not be possible for an app like iFunbox to access the data. This could make iFunbox a valuable tool in improving the security of your iOS device - assuming that the iFunbox app itself is trustworthy, which I know nothing about.

No, because I never let other people use my phone unattended. Once you give someone physical access to your phone, they can do all sorts of mayhem, from losing it to damaging it to jailbreaking it.

Same answer. Once you give some one unsupervised access to your computer, all manner of bad things could happen. It's basic computer security: restrict physical access. If you don't do that, there's not a whole lot of point in bothering with anything else.

Why would anyone with an IQ over room temperature give someone access to any device or computer without supervision?

Why would anyone allow someone to install software on their computer?

What kind of psycho hacks their families devices to spy on them?
