Jailbreak hacker and developer Comex, known for his outstanding work on JailbreakMe, has announced through his Twitter account yesterday that he will be joining an internship at Apple in two weeks.
While it`s common for Apple to hire interns for a limited period of time-this applies to designers and developers all the time-this internship is worth noting since Comex has been jailbreaking Apple`s iDevices for years.
These jailbreaks allowed users to install Cydia, the alternative App store on their devices. Forbes has profiled Comex, less than a month ago, as 19-year old Nicholas Allegra who has been interested in hacking and coding since the age of nine.
The latest version of JailbreakMe gained popularity owing to the simple web-based interface to install Cydia in iOS 4.3 devices including iPad 2 and focused the lights on Comex.
JailbreakMe 3.0 has been used over a million times becoming the most prominent and the most successful tool ever released to the public. The hack used vulnerability in Apple’s PDF library to run JailbreakMe’s code and install Cydia, a security hole that Apple fixed after 9 days.
