We need alternative open content marketplaces. In response they are bullied into being bought or risk being cloned or thrown out of the store. "Businesses are taking a huge risk by building for the emerging XR market. Security researchers need root access to the headset to validate the manufacturers claims. We need to know how and when our voice and movement data is being used. "We need to be certain that our biometric data is being used correctly. We have the right to legally modify our own devices just as people already do with their phones. "It is our right to restore access to this hardware when it is taken from us.

"We have the right to repair our own hardware," Long said.

WebXR developer Robert Long, who offered a $5000 reward for jailbreaking Oculus Quest 2, took to Twitter to say root access was "important to the community, regardless of whether or not you buy one". Pearlman said XRSI was "currently working to gather assurances to protect the individuals who discovered these methods of jailbreak", with legal action already predicted by some. While there's keen interest in any potential Oculus Quest 2 jailbreak, Facebook itself will likely look to shut it down before it's made publicly available. And over the weekend it emerged that deleting Facebook also deletes your Oculus purchases. Last week, Facebook's augmented and virtual reality boss Andrew Bosworth responded to the account suspension issue by saying "people should continue to make sure their Facebook accounts are in good standing before they buy the headset". Earlier in October, some users reported their headsets were left unusable due to Facebook account merging problems. The Oculus Quest 2 is a controversial device because it requires a Facebook login to work. This is meant to let consumers repair and modify their own consumer electronics devices - despite manufacturer terms of service. XRSI demands the right to repair for XR devices, including virtual reality headsets, under Right to Repair legislation in the US. In a post published on, XRSI founder Kavya Pearlman said that following a researcher from the XR community bypassing Facebook login on the Oculus Quest 2, its own researchers validated the jailbreak. Non-profit research company the XR (Extended Reality) Safety Initiative said it had confirmed root access on the recently-released Oculus Quest 2, which was first claimed on reddit just over a week ago.
JAILBREAKER 2 HACK UPDATE
I have reached out to Apple for comment and will update this article in due course.An Oculus Quest 2 jailbreak that bypasses its Facebook login has reportedly been discovered. I'll bring you more news of those as detail emerges.

JAILBREAKER 2 HACK WINDOWS
Security researchers also successfully launched exploits against Windows 10, Microsoft Exchange and Google Chrome, among others. It should also be said that Apple products weren't the only target at the Tianfu Cup 2021 event. The not so good news is that there have been reports in the past of Chinese state actors using some of these exploits for espionage or surveillance purposes before patches can be released. I would expect to see these in either iOS 15.1 or a forthcoming iOS 15.0 security update. Indeed, these hacking teams will turn the details of their exploits over to Apple so that it can release patches for these vulnerabilities. The good news is that hacking is not a crime, as I have repeated time and time again. MORE FROM FORBES iOS 15.0.2: Why Apple Is Issuing Emergency iPhone Updates By Kate O'Flaherty

While, again, the full detail of how this was achieved has not been made public, reports suggest it involved a one-click link triggering a remote code exploit that bypassed Safari security mechanisms.
