I read the latest news on here and it says 250,000 jailbroken devices were hacked. I couldn't understand the unlocking part or could you explain everything in a more simplistic way? Is there any way this could be resolved WITHOUT jailbreaking? Or should I even worry about it since its a 3 out of 250,000 percent chance for me?
If you can answer these questions that would be great.

if you read further into the article it said they hit Chinese users, it also has a link to a website where you can check if your login was leaked

Basically there are some shady tweaks that have back-doors and are stealing Jailbreak user's iCloud account and password to a remote server, which so far there are roughly 250 thousand accounts that have been leaked. It seams that most of these tweaks were from the the apt.so/apt.feng.com repository. I personally have never heard of this repository so if you haven't installed this repository or the tweaks that come from it then you're fine.

You're really not at as big of a risk as you think you are.

The best way to avoid being threatened by this stuff is two factor authentication and NO pirated repo/tweaks.
