Luca Todesco warns of the Yalu ipa that has a 1-year certificate.
Although there is a jailbreak for iOS 10.2, it has been stabilized Yalu for iOS 10.2 in its beta 7 version, which has been released a couple of days ago, this version of Yalu has a certificate that expires in 7 days and we will have to install it again to have Yalu on our iDevice.
As we have already mentioned, to do or activate the Jailbreak we will need Yalu on our device. When the certificate expires, we must install it again on our iPhone with Cydia Impactor. For many, the 7-day certificate is not a problem because it doesn’t cost them to install it again, but for others it is not.
Yesterday, a modified or altered yalu ipa was published whose certificate is 1 year old, this ipa is not official, and according to Luca Todesco it could be harmful to the device since it could contain Malware, that is, a virus capable of steal personal information to send it to a server without you knowing
It is speculated that Saurik is working on something related to the certificate so that users do not have to worry; It is not known exactly if he intends to publish a modified ipa, or a tweak that eliminates the expiration of the ipa
Regarding the ipa with a one-year certificate, you can download it HERE at your own risk; the key is 1129 (it can be installed from safari and may take several tries). Luca Todesco gave his opinion about this, although it was possibly his way of expressing the fact that he was not happy that someone else had done it, or perhaps he cares about jailbreak users, that is, who would believe that the servers of Iraq come into play?
I strongly advise against using any ipa but the one on https://t.co/06ytqT4Q4f. Very easy to add malware to Yalu102.

A solution for the 7 day cert is apparently in the works, so please bear with Cydia Impactor for another week or so.

YouTubers: promoting sketchy likely to be malware unofficial edits of rootkits (jailbreaks qualify as such) just to break the ‘news’ first.

Even after it was repeatedly said that in very little time this wouldn’t be an issue anymore. Sad!

The ‘tar’ binary on one of those ‘free one year cert’ / ‘jailbreak without computer’ is tampered with; avoid at all costs

I am specifically calling out DZambas, who linked to a modified .ipa hosted on some Iraqi site.

You gotta be extremely careless to over your subscribers with highly-likely-to-be-malware sketchy IPAs with modified resources.

Anyway I don’t even understand why people care so much about the 1 week thing given that it’s likely the last time you’ll have to do it.

Security-wise, apart from anything, it is very possible for someone to maliciously modify an ipa on a server (even mine!)

Luca is removed from Jailbreak
After the great effort, work and dedication that Luca Todesco has put into publishing the jailbreak for iOS 10, he announced on his twitter account that the next jailbreak will be developed by another developer. He did not mention who it was, nor did he say any future plans.

Yalu would be updated for the iPhone 7 and 7+
As Yalu is still in beta, the tool is expected to be optimized for the iPhone 7 and 7+, as the device is jailbroken on iOS 10.1.1; said update would cease to be beta and would have an expiration certificate of at least one year
