Jay Freeman (Saurik) restores peace to the jailbreak community

Musclenerd is spreading the word on Twitter that JailbreakMe.com is again in the hands of those who cherish it the most, thanks to Saurik (Jay Freeman), the creator of Cydia.

Jay Freeman, known as Saurik in the jailbreak community, has reportedly acquired the JailbreakMe.com domain after some confusion regarding its destination.

iPhone Dev Team member Musclenerd had earlier informed that ConceitedApps, the owners of the domain, had decided to sell it. The hacker had said that Comex’s JailbreakMe web-based exploit would thus be moved to a different domain - jailbreaks.me.

With such an awful ring to it, no wonder Saurik decided to buy back the old one for jailbreakers worldwide. Musclenerd now confirms on Twitter:

“We've got jailbreakme.com back :)  Thanks to @saurik for buying it, and to Yinan for selling it at his purchase price (a lot!).”
