Evad3rs were accused during this day of "selling out" a Chinese company to launch evasi0n7 in the idea of implementing a store with pirated applications, but for fear of the fact that it could lose 1 million dollars, money promised for the solution jailbreak, if geohot managed to complete its jailbreak solution before them. In an attempt to explain everything that was behind the development and launch of this solution untethered jailbreak for iOS 7, the hackers they published a document in which they talk in detail about the decisions they made and the reasons on the basis of which these decisions were made.
For starters, they say that App Storethe installed to Chinese users, named taig, was implemented based on a partnership with a local company, being considered by hackers as a better alternative than Cydia, at least for local users. Moreover, they deny the fact that they would have sold their exploits to this company, but also that they would have implemented malware in evasi0n7, several security experts accusing them of this. The source code of evasi0n7 was encrypted by hackers and several security experts accused them of doing this to hide the implementation of a malware, but in fact all security solutions jailbreak they would have been distributed in the same way without malware.
Going further, Evad3rs claim that by collaborating with taig just try to provide an alternative for Cydia and not a App Store with pirated applications, they conclude a contract in this sense with the respective company. Obliging by contract not to distribute pirated applications, the Taig company did not keep its promises, and several pirated applications were discovered in their store, but the people from Evad3rs claim that they are currently collaborating with the company's representatives to remove that software. Evad3rs have always claimed that they are against piracy, but the launch evasi0n7 with an App Store full of pirated content proves that things are not quite like that, although they claim that they had no knowledge of the existence of such packages.
Finally, the people from Evad3rs explain that while negotiating with saurik for compensation for their work, they failed to reach an agreement, accepting a much better offer from the Chinese from Taig. The exclusion of saurik from the development process of the jailbreak solution took place because he would have collaborated with other companies in China to develop an alternative solution, Evad3rs making the decision to release their software before everyone, and in order not to lose their compensation they decided to publish their work now.
Evad3rs admitted that they accepted a sum of money from the guys at Taig for the release of evasi0n7, and from here on you can imagine for yourself how things are. It seems that the interest in jailbreaking iOS 7 is extremely high, so much so that now several entities were working in parallel to develop public jailbreak solutions, Evad3rs managing to bring a public software before everyone else, but I have a vague suspicion that this will not be the last jailbreak solution for iOS 7.
