comex and geohot awarded at Pwnie Awards 2011

      I told you 2 weeks ago that geohot and comex were nominated at the Pwnie Awards 2011. They were elected yesterday the winners of these prizes and the 2 hackers each won a prize but for totally different categories. Comex was nominated in the category Pwnie for Best Client-Side Bug for the exploit discovered in iOS 4 and transformed into the jailbreak solution jailbreakme.com 3.0. geohot received a category nomination Pwnie for Best Song for a short video clip made during the period when Sony sued him for the jailbreak solution for PS 3.

       2 different categories for 2 of the most important hackers of the iOS community but comex's award is the most important because he revealed a dangerous vulnerability that made it possible to jailbreak the iPad 2. Unfortunately jailbreakme.com 3.0 was blocked by Apple starting with iOS 4.3.4 but those with iOS 4.3.3 or lower can still use it without problems.
