iPhone hacked, made compatible with Israeli mobile carriers - Image 1By the looks of it, it seems that iPhone hacking isn't going to stop anytime soon, given the mobile phone's flexibility and power. Just today, we learned that these hacks "have finally gone international" as three Israeli computer engineers have hacked the phone's system making it compatible with mobile carriers in Israel.

According to initial reports, the hackers (Dubbi, Ofir, and Eli) bought the iPhones in the United States for personal use without thinking of tinkering with its security system. Ofir was even quoted saying that "the iPhone would be just a nice gadget and not an active phone if it was used in Israel".

It's unclear at this stage, however, why the three ended up cracking the iPhone but Eli shared that anyone can actually do it. He added that while hacking the phone's security system didn't cost any money, it did cost him a lot of time.

As of this writing, the three are still not willing to made public how they did the trick.
