Two teams of hackers are being nominated for 2014 Pwnie awards. The Pwnie Awards celebrate achievements of security researchers and developers that find bugs and exploits in software.

This year's Pwnie Awards cover achievements from July 2013-2014. Evasi0n and Pangu are both being nominated for jailbreaking iOS 7 in the category of "best privilege escalation bug."

Here's what the Pwnie Awards had to say about Evasi0n iOS 7.0 jailbreak that is credited to Evad3rs:

"For the second year in a row, the evad3rs team gets a Pwnie nomination for exploiting Apple iOS. This time they chained together at least four exploits to defeat code signing and exploit the iOS kernel."

And here's what they had to say about Pangu iOS 7.1 jailbreak that is credited to Pangu, Stefan Esser and possibly others:

"What's more exciting than one iOS jailbreak? Two iOS jailbreaks. A new team hit the jailbreak scene in 2014 with a jailbreak for Apple iOS 7.1. Tracing the origin of the bugs is difficult, because Stefan Esser claimed that parts of the jailbreak were taken from his iOS training class, and who knows who else had the same bugs. The lesson is something hackers should have learned years ago: If you disclose your bugs even to a single person, they probably going to be leaked."

It's good to know that these two jailbreaks were able to surpass Apple's security. Apple has made it clear that it doesn't want users jailbreaking its devices.

No Evasi0n iOS 7.1 Jailbreak Out Yet

The 7.1 version of iOS was released a couple months ago and many were surprised when they saw that an iOS 7.1 jailbreak could be downloaded just a week later from 7jailbreak.com. But was it the real thing?

Many in the jailbreak community were suspicious of this jailbreak, and they were right. It turned out to be nothing but a hoax. The hack was supposedly credited to Joshua Hill (better known as P0sixninja) and many users thought it was genuine.

P0sixninja begged users not to download the jailbreak from the website, saying it was full of spam and would install adware in their iPhones and iPads.

If Evad3rs is to release a 7.1 jailbreak, wait for them to announce it before downloading anything claiming to be genuine.
