Apple hired jailbreaker Comex, author of JailBreakMe.com

They probably call it only an "internship" because they don't want to tell the whole story ($...), and protect both Apple's and comex's reputation...

He'll probably have to sign an NDA, and that'll effectively take him out of the jailbreaking game.

Good for the kid

Clever kid. The number of unique exploits made into a single user-friendly jailbreak is an astounding effort. I hope Apple puts him on Apple security and hope they are paying him.

What is this? Apple is hiring iOS's most well known hacker after Samsung hired Android's most well known hacker? Hey maybe Samsung can sue Apple for doing something similar.

Dude, don't sell out to these evil corporate assholes...you should stay open source.  There's more to life than money!  You clearly have the ability, why don't you create something great for the world to use?  Instead of helping these people make MORE money.

Did Apple increase their security braintrust, or did Comex sell out?
