Comex, the anonymous hacker behind JailbreakMe.com, a website that enables easy jailbreaking of iOS devices, has been unmasked by Forbes.
Allegra describes jailbreaking as "like editing an English paper... You just go through and look for errors. I don't know why I seem to be so effective at it."Nicholas Allegra lives with his parents in Chappaqua, New York. The tall, shaggy-haired and bespectacled 19-year old has been on leave from Brown University since last winter, looking for an internship...
He calls himself an Apple "fanboy," and describes Android's more open platform as "the enemy." "I guess it's just about the challenge, more than anything else," he says.
The Forbes article ends by wondering if Apple's security team needs a new intern. It wouldn't be the first time a jailbreaker ended up at Infinite Loop. Earlier this year MobileNotifier developer Peter Hajas was picked up as an Apple summer intern.
