Detection

Presence of Cydia, Sileo, Magisk, or SuperSU apps; banking/security apps report integrity check failure.

Fix (technical)

Keep device OS updated to latest release version (iOS 26 / Android current) to patch kernel exploits1. Use device management policies to block unsigned profiles24.

Fix (relational)

Engage in open dialogue regarding cybersecurity risks, malware exposure, and system instability resulting from OS modification.

Residual risk

Hardware-level bootrom vulnerabilities (if present) cannot be patched via software update.
