Pod2g Says P0sixspwn Jailbreak Burns Exploit That Could Have Been Used for Future Jailbreaks

Pod2g has tweeted to accuse iH8sn0w and winocm of burning a valuable root exploit that could have been used for future jailbreaks to release p0sixspwn, a jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.1.5.

Nice! @winocm and @iH8sn0w burnt a highly valuable root exploit that would have worked for future iOS versions for a stupid 6.1.5 jailbreak.

A working exploit is very difficult to obtain and it's use is typically timed to have the most benefit to users. Usually, that means it is used on a major update.

In this case, it appears the exploit was one found by comex that hackers used internally to jailbreak their devices making it easier to create a jailbreak for public release.

Probably that you don't understand when I say highly valuable. It's something jailbreakers refused to use for years. Was found by @comex...

@pimskeks added:

@pod2g @comex and they have two other invaluable exploits that could have been used instead :(
