Where are these reports of blacklisting being posted? I haven't seen them yet, and as my wife and I are new his and hers owners of hacked phones (though running on the AT&T network), want to keep up to date.
Last night while sync'ing my phone, iTunes did ask if it could send data back to Apple. The Details button showed what looked like core dump files, so I declined the request.
