Apple is investigating iPhone Security Holes used by JailbreakMe

The awareness of the danger of the security holes in the iPhone browser are growing. JailbreakMe is now a popular way to jailbreak an iPhone, but it the convenience comes through security holes that can also be used by hackers.
Reuters has a report that mentions that Apple is investigating the issue. Well, of course they do. It just a question how long it will take them to issue a new security update for iOS 4.
Apple already seeded iOS 4.1 Beta 3 to developers, but it is not known yet if it fixes already the security holes in mobile Safari.

The funny thing is that it is actually more secure to use a jailbroken iPhone and install the PDF Loading Warner via Cydia.
