The bank’s app, it turned out, was designed to detect iPhone hacks, but the detection code was buggy and “total garbage,” according to Guido. That’s when he and his colleagues decided to create a better tool to detect iPhone jailbreaks and hacks.
For years, there's been no real way to know whether your iPhone had been hacked. Guido is hoping to change that.

The tool he made, called iVerify, is now on the iPhone App Store—one of the first ever apps that promises to catch iPhone hacks to be approved to be on the official App Store.
iPhones are widely believed to be some of the most secure devices one can get. But in the last few months, security researchers have shown the cracks on the iPhone’s garden walls.

iVerify is designed to look for “side effects” or anomalies created by iPhone hacks or jailbreaks, according to Ryan Stortz, a security researcher that focuses on iOS at Trail of Bits. This, according to Guido, is the “secret sauce” of iVerify and is based on studying all existing past public jailbreaks and reverse engineering the iPhone’s operating system.
