Comex, the Jailbreak genius, goes public

The jailbreaking genius known as Comex in the iPhone and iPad scene has finally come to light, thanks to Forbes' persistent efforts to interview him. They succeeded, and Comex appeared on camera, revealing his age, name, and some interesting comments about jailbreaking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His real name is Nicholas Allegra, he is only 19 years old, currently lives in New York, the comments are very interesting, apparently his career with codes and hacks began at the age of 9.

He talks about Apple's system, he comments:

It's like having to proofread a newspaper you've just read and look for mistakes.

Let's remember that Comex was the only hacker (or whatever you want to call him) who managed to jailbreak the iPad 2 with JailbreakMe 3.0,

He started writing his first codes with Visual Basic at the age of 9, he says:

“In high school I took an advanced computer course, but I already knew everything. When I discovered that it wasn't possible to save an image of my Super Smash Bros. game from my Wii to the computer, after spending several hours analyzing the console's code, I started working on a hack for the Nintendo.”

Now we can truly say it's incredible; the boy is young and promises many feats in the future.
