hypnosec writes "Apple released iOS 6.1.3 beta 2 to developers, patching at least one of the vulnerabilities used by evasi0n thereby rendering the jailbreak tool useless — the time zone settings vulnerability. David Wang aka @planetbeing, has confirmed that iOS 6.1.3 beta 2 does patch one of the vulnerabilities that they exploited in their evasi0n tool."

On the plus side, there is no need for antivirus software in devices running iOS, something that I saw advertised prominently the last time I was in Akihabara. Certainly, the rules to get a iOS developer license could be relaxed in such a way to demand less than $100 for it and make room for hoobists, but locked down nature of the devices and the efforts made to get accountability from the developers are a service to Apple's customers.
