Allow us to extend our congratulations to Nicholas Allegra (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/01/getting-to-know-you-comex-the-boy-behind-ios-jailbreakme/). He's more popularly known as Comex, the party responsible for crafting the infamous JailbreakMe (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/06/jailbreakme-for-the-ipad-2-is-finally-live-not-live-just-keep/) and Spirit (http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/02/iphone-ipad-spirit-jailbreak-released-to-the-world/) tools that's given Apple so many headaches recently. Starting the week after next, he'll be officially wandering around 1 Infinite Loop as a bona fide intern. We're not terribly surprised, since the skill level needed to give iOS engineers a run for their money (http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/) can be a highly valuable asset to the company; hiring someone with the know-how to spot vulnerabilities in Apple's OS would only serve to make the platform more secure. It wasn't mentioned how Allegra's talents will be utilized by Apple, but -- given the programmer's extensive history (http://www.engadget.com/tag/comex/) -- we can make a few educated guesses.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/26/jailbreakme-creator-comex-joins-apple-as-an-intern/
