iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak was surprisingly released last week by a team of Chinese hackers, bringing us the possibility to exploit any version of iOS 8 released so far.
Because in the last few days there have been many questions about the solution 8.1.1 iOS jailbreak, the people from TaiG thought of publishing a set of questions and answers to enlighten users from all over the world about their jailbreak solution. For starters, they argue that iOS 8.2 it cannot be jailbroken for now because it is in beta version, this despite the fact that the iOS version was mentioned from the very beginning as being compatible with the program, hackers having exploits for it, but they prefer not to divulge them for now.
In fact, support of iOS 8.2 has been completed by TaiG, as 8.2 is still at beta stage, we have disabled support for 8.2 in the current public release. Releasing a stable iOS version around Thanksgiving, and maintaining it until the first quarter of next year, has been usual practice of Apple, which means 8.1.1 will be around for quite some time, and it is a relatively stable firmware. These are the main reasons that TaiG chose to release JB for 8.1.1.
Continuing, they explain that the release of iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak is based on the fact that in the past Apple released updates for iOS during Thanksgiving and then avoided updating the operating system until after the beginning of a new year. In this idea, the hackers believe that until the beginning of next year, TaiGJailbreak will remain usable for any interested person without Apple having any desire to block it through an update.
iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak - frequently asked questions
Chiendi hackers claim that the disclosure of new exploits for this jailbreak solution is based on the desire of users to have such software, they claim that they have in their team a well-known hacker who developed jailbreak solutions in the past. Without giving names, we can speculate that it is about the well-known MuscleNerd, the one who announced the release of the jailbreak solution and confirmed that it is safe for use, basically turning for TaiGJailbreak.
In our team we have the 3rd (probably the 1st) developer in the world who has accomplished JB individually. We will try to give you surprises in every subsequent iOS public release, and we are very confident about that.
Finally, those from TaiG issue a collaboration invitation to those from Pangu for the development of future jailbreak solutions and claim that they will provide support for iOS 8.2 when it is released. If these two things will happen or not we will find out in the following months, Apple most likely wanting to block until next year all the exploits that allow jailbreaking for its iDevices.
Having said that, the iOS 8.1.1 jailbreak seems to have been thought of as a solution that could be reused in the future by a team of hackers eager to get as much money as possible from Chinese companies willing to invest in such software programs.
