CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA — The iPhone's deepest, darkest secrets may have just been revealed in what some are calling the biggest leak in history, and Apple is not pleased.<br /><br />Motherboard reports that the source code for the iBoot, a core component of Apple's operating system, was posted on Github early this week.<br /><br />Despite being tied to the outdated iOS 9, the code could make it easier for hackers to find vulnerabilities that would allow them to decrypt an iPhone.<br /><br />Conversely, it could also be used by security researchers to develop protection against flaws that could compromise the device.<br /><br />With only 7% of devices currently running on iOS 9 or older, and several other safeguards in place, end users are not at risk. But keeping software up to date is still beneficial.<br /><br />Apple later confirmed that the leaked source code was genuine, but has since filed a DMCA notice to get GitHub to take it down.
