London, Aug 30 (ANI): A 19-year-old hacker who developed an iPhone tool for users to download applications that was not approved by Apple, is reportedly set to start an internship at the software technology giant.
Nicholas Allegra, who has been a thorn in the side of the technology giant after launching 'JailbreakMe 2.0' last year, claimed he has been hired as an intern at Apple, the Daily Mail reports.
"It's been really, really fun, but it's also been a while and I've been getting bored. So, the week after next I will be starting an internship with Apple," Allegra, better known as 'Comex' wrote on Twitter.
Apple has, however, refused to comment on whether Allegra has been employed or not.
Jailbreakme 2.0, introduced last year, works on all iPhones that are running Apple's iOS4 operating system.
The download was the first that can be accessed through the iPhone's own system rather than via an external computer.
The hack allows iPhone owners to legally unlock their devices so they can run software apps that have not been approved by Apple. (ANI)
