*October 12 -- [[Chronic_Dev_(team)|Chronic Dev Team]] releases [[greenpois0n]] after changing it's exploit to the one [[limera1n]] uses. By doing this, [[SHAtter]] is kept undisclosed, meaning there is a chance it may be found into 5th Gen devices, if Apple chooses to continue with the [[A4]] CPU. [[Limera1n]] exploit appears to be fixed as of iOS 4.2 beta 2, meaning that the next revision of [[A4]] processors may have it patched already. 3rd Gen and below will always be vulnerable to [[limera1n]]'s exploit.
