Meet Comex, The iPhone Hacker Who Keeps Outsmarting Apple

Interesting portrait of Comex over at Forbes. “Dino Dai Zovi, co-author of the Mac Hacker’s Handbook, says JailbreakMe’s sophistication is on par with that of Stuxnet, a worm thought to have been designed by the Israeli or U.S. government to infect Iran’s nuclear facilities. He compares Allegra’s skills to the state-sponsored intruders that plague corporations and governments, what the cybersecurity industry calls ‘advanced-persistent threat’ hackers: ‘He’s probably five years ahead of them’, says Dai Zovi.”
