A job posting at Apple for an iPhone OS Platform Security Manager suggests that the Cupertino-based company may be stepping up their offensive against jailbreakers & their jailbroken devices.
The Core OS group is looking for a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on the platform security of iPhone OS.

The team is made up of a variety of security experts with backgrounds in system security and reverse engineering.
One of the notable job responsibilities is: ‘Driving a methodology for proactively finding security vulnerabilities’. As recent updates have shown, this likely means searching for and closing exploits used to jailbreak and unlock.
