Earlier today, hacker Comex released JailbreakMe to jailbreak all iOS devices including, for the first time, the iPad 2.
It's a super-simple jailbreak involving surfing to www.jailbreakme.com using your device Safari browser and hitting a button.
The jailbreak uses a PDF security flaw in the Apple iOS to get into your device and install the jailbreak.
Comex has now released a patch to plug this hole, so it can't be used for unscrupulous purposes by other websites. It's called PDF Patcher 2 and you can get it free in the Cydia app store on jailbroken devices.
For people not wanting to jailbreak, Apple will surely patch it with the next iOS update.
