Not surprisingly, online miscreants are trying to exploit the excitement. The real USB jailbreak gadget is not a USB drive. But it looks like one. So now some clown is distributing a Windows program that claims to creates a jailbreak USB device out of a normal thumb drive. All you need to do is to download and run the program.
