Tencent Keen Security Lab demonstrated a jailbreak of iOS 11.3.1 at the Infiltrate Security Conference in Miami this past weekend.

Dave Aitel, CEO of Immunity, Inc, reports that the team "demoed a full iOS jailbreak chain" and Keen team member Liang Chen posted a screenshot to Twitter of an iPhone X running Cydia on iOS 11.3.1, verifying the accomplishment.

"Again thanks @daveaitel and @InfiltrateCon for the nice reception at Miami. It is one of the best security conferences on this continent. @marcograss", tweeted Chen.

iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Demonstrated at InfiltrateCon

The Tencent Keen Security Lab was established in January, 2016. The team's focus is on the cutting-edge security research of mainstream PC/Mobile operating systems, applications, cloud computing technologies, IOT smart devices, etc. As part of Tencent Security their research is applied to Tencent's products and technologies.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that Keen will release an iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak to the public. However, it's always hopeful to know that a jailbreak is still possible.

For me the novelty and usefulness of a jailbreak has gone, it’s stops all my Banking Apps working leaving me with a phone that doesn’t fit my working day life. It’s a same I can’t have both because I used to enjoy it. Congrats tho to teams for find another JB :)

Nowadays timely 'jailbreaks' are either meant as private releases, or as Vilma

Lol or as *Vulns sold to agencies, companies and the likes... It's ok for hackers/security researchers to get paid for their work and talent, they owe nothing to anyone. Sadly the current jailbreak prospect, hardly is it gonna change.
