Chinese hacking team called ‘Keen Team’ working on iOS 9 jailbreak

We have some good news for jailbreakers who are hoping to upgrade to iOS 9 this fall. Another Chinese hacking team called ‘Keen Team’ working on iOS 9 jailbreak. One of keen jailbreak team member called Liang Chen confirme this on Forbes interview. Keen Team says they’re eyeing the firmware to release their first ever jailbreak.

Liang Chen says “We want to release it just after iOS 9 update, that’s our plan,” he told Forbes. iOS 9 is currently in iOS 9 developer beta

Chen’s comments will be very welcomed by users in the iOS-modding community, who have not seen a new jailbreak released in more than 6 months. They also mitigate some of the fear put forth by the new ‘rootless’ security feature for iOS 9. Several reputed hackers have acknowledged its existence in the first OS X El Capitan beta, and at least remnants of it in iOS 9. It’s expected to make iOS 9 Jailbreak much more difficult.

But the well-known TaiG team and Keen Team (K33n Team) is up to the iOS 9 Jailbreak challenge. Keen Team has won more than $60K in Mobile Pwn2Own competitions for breaking into mobile Safari, and they also released a tool for rooting Samsung’s Galaxy S6.

The latest jailbreakable version of Taig Jailbreak iOS 8.1.2 and Taig Jailbreak iOS 8.2 beta. But there has been talk of work on exploits for iOS 8.3 and 8.4, which is slated to be released on June 30. iOS 9 is currently in beta version, and will remain so until Apple releases iOS 9 to the public sometime this fall.
