A trio known for their prowess in hacking Apple’s iPhone software indicated on Thursday they may be edging closer to breaking the improved security measures in iOS6.

The hackers, who spoke at the Hack in the Box security conference in Kuala Lumpur, are famous for “jailbreaking” the iPhone’s software, the term for using combinations of exploits to allow the installation of unauthorized software. Apple dislikes the practice, which is legal in the U.S. but can void warranties for modified devices.
