Until now, we are not sure about anything, which is why we’ve been holding off on reporting about this, but we’ve received word that it’s likely it does. A few hours ago iH8sn0w the well known hacker and the guy behind Sn0wbreeze jailbreak tool added weight to the theory saying that it looks like beta 4 patches evasion7′s kernel exploit…
And here’s a tweet from jailbreak developer CoolStar:
If any of this is true, then it would spell bad news for evasi0n7 and future jailbreakers. You would think that the software—which was first released on December 22—would either have to be reworked to use different exploits, or completely scrapped and rebuilt.
