Comex, the hacker behind Spirit and JailbreakMe, has announced that he will be going to work for Google in a few weeks time.
In other news, I’m going to intern for Google in a few weeks.
When p0sixninja exclaimed, "Now you can't hack iPhone or Android!!!" he replied, "Not going to be involved with Android, and also I don’t like it enough to ever want to hack it :p"
Nicholas Allegra a.k.a. Comex first appeared on the iPhone jailbreak scene in March of 2010 when he demonstrated an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS called Spirit. Then in August of 2010 Comex released another untethered jailbreak of iOS 4.0 for all devices including the iPhone 4. This jailbreak was entitled JailbreakMe 2.0 and could easily be performed using just MobileSafari. After Apple closed the PDF exploit, Comex was again able to update JailbreakMe to perform an untethered jailbreak of iOS 4.3.3 and the iPad 2 in July 2011. In August of 2011 he announced he was going to work for Apple.
On October 18, 2012, Comex revealed via Twitter that his employment at Apple had been terminated because he forgot to reply to an email offer to continue his employment at Apple as a remote intern.
Comex has yet to reveal what he will be working on at Google.
