iPhone hacker comex, goes from Apple to intern for Google
Looks like Apple's loss is Google's gain. Nicholas Allegra, famously known as Comex, the guy behind the JailbreakMe hacking tools for iPhone and iPad will be joining Google as an intern.
Allegra broke the news via his Twitter account saying that he'd be interning with the search engine giant in a few weeks. He also tweeted that he won't be working on Android, Google's mobile operating system that competes with Apple's iOS and that he never liked Android enough to hack it. The tweet was first spotted by Forbes, which also mentioned that the 19 year old hacker did not elaborate on what he'd be doing at Google.
Allegra created the JailbreakMe tool that exploits loopholes in Apple's Safari web browser to jailbreak an iOS device in a single step, without requiring the user to plug the device to a computer. He worked under the pseudonym Comex, till Forbes revealed his identity in 2011.
