JailbreakMe 3.0 Popularity Keeps Growing, Over 2 Million iOS Devices Jailbroken

When JailbreakMe 3.0 tool came out last week The news was delivered by Grant Paul (also known as @chpwn) via his Twitter account.

Grant Paul is one of the main contributors of JailbreakMe. In a tweet, he made it official:

This comes just three days after the same contributor made it be known that JailbreakMe 3.0 had been used 1 million times just one day after the tool was officially released. This new figure isn’t counting the many jailbreaks that probably took place when a pre-release version of the tool leaked last week.

The popularity of JailbreakMe 3.0 due to it's easiest possible method to jailbreak any iOS-based device,  and for the first time, apply a fully untethered jailbreak on the iPad 2. Unlike other methods that require a computer connection and some knowledge on the inner-workings of iOS, JailbreakMe only requires an Internet connection and 5 minutes to spare.

Thanks to an (as of yet unpatched) vulnerability in Mobile Safari, Cydia can easily be loaded onto any device by simply pointing Safari to JailbreakMe’s website. The process itself takes just a few minutes and the final result is exactly the same as the one a user would get from using other tools.
