evasi0n7 jailbreak 1.0.1 update is available, Evad3rs claim that they have given up remuneration for the development of the jailbreak solution

  evasi0n7 jailbreak was launched this week to give iDevice owners the ability to perform a untethered jailbreak for iOS 7. Unfortunately, the software replaced the application in China Cydia with a pirated app store called Taig, the hackers from Evad3rs being criticized for the modification applied to the solution by jailbreak. The collaboration between Evad3rs and the owners of Taig was based on the remuneration of the work done by them for the development evasi0n7But according to an open letter published yesterday, the hackers gave up money due to the fact that Taig did not respect its contractual terms regarding the avoidance of the distribution of pirated software.

There have been a lot of rumors listing various amounts we've been paid. We have received no monies from any group, including Taig. We will not be accepting any money. Our donations are being given to Public Knowledge, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure to help protect jailbreaking as your legal right.

  Practically now the people from Evad3rs tell us that they worked for months for nothing because a company from China did not respect its contractual terms, who expected anything else. If the story is true, then it's a shame that the hacker team worked so hard for nothing and this will probably convince them to think twice before developing future hacking solutions. jailbreak. Version 1.0.1 a evasi0n7 it does nothing but remove the Taig installation instead Cydia for Chinese users, the software still having problems to jailbreak correctly.

Dear Jailbreak Community (part 2),

We want to address some additional concerns put forth by the community:

Privacy and Taig

First and foremost, and of utmost concern, is privacy. No one's data was ever sent anywhere. Of course, as a member of the community whose work frees devices, it would be against everything we've worked for the last 7 years to jeopardize the security of the users of our software. To reiterate, no Taig software was installed unless the computer's language was set to Chinese. Furthermore, no Taig software would run unless the user opened the Taig application.

After rumors abound of encrypted data being sent for users in China who've installed Taig, we decided to do what we do best – reverse engineer the code of Taig to understand what was being sent. Taig transmitted data similar to what Cydia transmits. Unique device identifiers were transmitted in encrypted form similar to how Cydia uses SSL to protect the privacy of its users. Taig did not transmit any private user data from the devices at all.

Piracy and Taig

Our written and verbal agreement with Taig banned it. They assured us it was not in there. We did not check every package in their store but a cursory examination before release found no problems. However, after investigation and after notification from the community, we found examples, including pirated tweaks, Apple App Store apps, and even pod2g's PodDJ app. We dropped the ball on this. While we at first did not believe Taig purposefully violated our agreement, the depth of the transgression against the software developers and the jailbreak community cannot be overlooked and we could not move forward after that even if it were fixed. We terminated our relationship with them. We are very disappointed that they have decided to put up a cracked version of the jailbreak on their site that installs Taig. We did not give them any permission or source code.

We have refused all monies from Taig

There have been a lot of rumors listing various amounts we've been paid. We have received no monies from any group, including Taig. We will not be accepting any money. Our donations are being given to Public Knowledge, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure to help protect jailbreaking as your legal right.

Jailbreak Updates

We are working hard to fix the problems with the jailbreak. Unfortunately, it's the holidays and we would like to spend time with our friends and family. The events of the last couple of days have been extremely stressful for us and we need some time to recover. We will work as hard as we can to resolve any remaining issues. Thank you for your understanding.

 

We worked very hard to bring this jailbreak free of charge to the community. We hope you can all enjoy it.
