Home Hardware Own a Jailbroken Apple TV 2? Secure or Unplug That Huge F*c%ing Security Threat Immediately

The jailbroken Apple TV 2 was once the most popular device for Kodi. It’s now outdated, and poses a huge security threat to your entire network. Jailbreaking the Apple TV 2 preinstalls OpenSSH and leaves the default SSH password as: alpine. This huge security flaw puts millions of Kodi users at risk of having their Kodi box used to: send spam, DDoS, distribute malware or even something as disgusting as child pornography!

While everyone’s running around talking about Russia, the smaller security threats are disregarded by most. We’re here to tell you that if you own a jailbroken Apple TV 2 box, there’s a 99.99% chance that you have a huge security threat sitting in the middle of your living room. Jailbreaks are known to open additional security flaws in devices, however this flaw is far more egregious than others.

What puts Jailbroken Apple TV 2 owners at imminent risk of being hacked is the fact that this specific jailbreak comes with OpenSSH installed by default. Even worse, almost no one changes their root password on these devices from the default: alpine. This means that if you have a jalbroken Apple TV 2 device connected to electricity in your home, there’s a huge chance that you might have already had your security compromised.

Once an Apple TV 2 is jailbroken, OpenSSH is what allows the user to login using command prompt (or nito Installer) in order to install Kodi as well as other Apple TV 2 compatible apps such as nitoTV. As soon as you jailbreak the device and connect it to the internet, you’re left with a mini Linux computer that’s wide open and can be used by anyone on the internet who stumbles upon your IP address.

Under normal circumstances, most people are aware of the need to set a strong password on their computer. However, in this circumstance, most users aren’t aware that their jailbroken Apple TV 2 is a computer that can be programmed for any purpose. Anyone who gains access to your insecured jailbroken Apple TV 2 device could run code to do things like send spam, DDoS, or even infiltrate your phone and personal computer.

It’s important to understand that your overall digital security is online as good as your weakest link. It is becoming increasingly popular for hackers to use internet connected devices as part of botnets. Botnets are basically masses of infected devices used for a collective purpose like spamming, DDoS attacking, or fraud. Hackers could even turn your insecure jailbroken Apple TV 2 into a server, hosting all kinds of undesirable content.

Who’s to blame? We hate to say it, but the company behind the popular Seas0npass jailbreak for Apple TV 2 should have known better. For years Firecore distributed what was the only method…

Question

It is not showing the mirroring option below Apple TV anymore. What should I do?

Enable bluetooth on your iPad if you haven’t done so already, then turn on your Apple TV, you should get the symbol of a TV with an arrow and that should work. If it doesn’t, contact customer service.

Thanks to TidBITS readers who alerted us that Apple last week updated third-generation Apple TVs with Apple TV Software Update 7.6, which advertises itself only as providing “general performance and stability improvements.” Unfortunately, the opposite seems to be true.

Earlier in the year, third-generation Apple TVs had been having problems playing YouTube videos. Those problems may have been the result of the Apple TV Software Update 7.5, or they may have been related to changes at YouTube, but regardless, Google made a change that seemed to fix them.

Third-generation Apple TV users are now experiencing crashes when pausing YouTube videos, and others are having intermittent AirPlay problems that include freezing and audio-only over a blank screen. The only workarounds are to wait 90 seconds for the Apple TV to time out and reload the Home screen, or to restart the Apple TV either by pressing the Menu and Down buttons on the remote simultaneously or by power-cycling the unit. There are also problems with loading Apple TV+ shows promoted in the What to Watch area at the top of the Home screen, though they load fine when accessed from within the Apple TV app.

It’s apparently possible to downgrade a third-generation Apple TV, but it requires some potentially iffy software downloads and connecting the Apple TV to your Mac. Regardless of whether you want to color outside the lines with an unsupported downgrade, we recommend submitting feedback to Apple and calling Apple support to make sure the support reps are aware of the problem. Otherwise, it’s unlikely Apple will learn of these concerns.

Situations like this are frustrating. On the one hand, it’s great that Apple continues to update an obsolete product like the third-generation Apple TV that hasn’t been on the market for almost four years. But on the other hand, if you’re going to release an update to old hardware, Apple, make sure you get it right and pay attention afterward!

For All Mankind

In real-life, the Americans were the first to land on the moon. In this straight-to-series science fiction drama from Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica”), it’s the Soviet Union that got there first. The series, which is also written by Moore, along with Fargo co-executive producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, imagines a world where the global space race had never ended. And the space program remains the cultural centerpiece of America’s hopes and dreams.

Already renewed for a second season, “For All Mankind” launches with the first three episodes on Apple TV+ launch day. Additional episodes drop each Friday.

• Apple has unveiled Watch Series 6 with a price of $399 and a September 18 release.
• The new smartwatch includes blood oxygen monitoring that could be helpful with COVID-19 and other health issues.
• There’s also a budget Apple Watch SE arriving September 18 for $279.

The rumors were true: Apple has launched a bevy of new smartwatches without waiting for new iPhones. The company has unveiled Apple Watch Series 6, an evolution of its wearable focused even more on health.

The new Apple smartwatch adds blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, helping you track your heart and respiratory health. This could be particularly helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic, when low blood oxygen levels could be a sign you have the virus.

Apple Watch Series 6 should also be more powerful overall. It incorporates a new S6 system-on-chip that should be up to 20% faster. A brighter display will help you see the screen on sunny days, and an altimeter will help you gauge progress on hikes.

Style is an important factor as well. You’ll find aluminum cases in blue and red, as well as new straps. Solo Loop in elastomer and yarn completely eliminate clasps, buckles, or other attachments, while a new Leather Link attaches without a hole to slot through. There are no titanium

It comes with watchOS 7 and introduces Family Setup, a feature that lets you enable features for kids without requiring that they have their own iPhones. A School Time mode helps kids avoid distractions. You need a cellular Apple Watch Series 4 or later in countries where Family Setup is available.

A new service, Apple Fitness Plus, provides guided, Apple Watch-oriented workouts from “world-class” trainers that are updated every week. You start videos on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, and the workouts will automatically sync with your watch to show your metrics, interval countdowns and even completed rings. Apple Music subscribers can save playlists from the service for listening later. Apple Fitness Plus is priced at $10 per month or $80 per year, and will be available in six countries by the end of 2020.

Apple Watch Series 6 starts at a price of $399 for a GPS model with a release date of September 18. Be warned, though: to cut costs and reduce the environmental footprint, Apple won’t ship the USB power adapter. You’ll have to either plug into a computer or use an existing adapter if you don’t want to buy a new power brick.
