Jailbreak detected by Flipboard app

[pruppert]

First opening of Flipboard after the recent update to the app displays an iOS popup "Warning. Your iPad appears to be jailbroken. This may cause bugs, crashes or other unpredictable behavior."

I just thought that was interesting as I've never seen such a message before or even knew that an app could detect a jailbreak. What's to keep apple from detecting this with one of their apps and voiding my warranty?

You will get the same message if you use Blizzards Mobile Authenticator, I'm sure it has to do with keeping your private info safe.
