Domain ownership changed, JailbreakMe.com not safe anymore!

Well known jailbreak solution and one of the easiest available out there, JailbreakMe had its domain JailbreakMe.com sold out to an owner which is not really trusted by the jailbreak community and therefore it became not safe for use anymore. Instead of this domain jailbreak developers will from now on use JailbreaksMe.com
This news was announced by MuscleNerd who released these informations to the jailbreak public via his Twitter stream.
Original owner of this famous domain, which was only “borrowed“ to Comex, is an iOS app development company. They have now decided to sell the domain to a not reliable owner making it completely unsuitable for use.

As an answer, memebrs of the jailbreak dev community purchased another domain: JailbreaksMe.com which as they promise, wont be sold out. As the new owner of the famous old domain name is not trustworthy it is quite probable that it will be used for spreading iOS malware and therefore it should be carefully avoided. If you remember, @Comex has released his Jailbreak Me solution earlier this summer. JailbreakMe worked by exploiting a PDF vulnerability in iOS which allowed access to restricted areas of the iOS. All you had to do was to point your Safari browser to this website and your device became jailbroken in a moment.

This fabulous jailbreak worked on all iOS devices running iOS 4.3.3 including never before jailbroken iPad 2 tablet. More than 2 million iPhone and iPad owners have used this jailbreak to free their devices. Unfortunately the exploit was quickly patched by Apple, so it wont work on iOS versions above iOS 4.3.3. Comex was later approached and hired by Apple.
