A couple of days back, we were surprised to learn that TaiG, the Chinese company that runs a pirated app store, had released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 8.1.1 and iOS 8.2.
In our announcement post, we had asked readers to proceed with caution, because this is the first time TaiG has released a jailbreak. Today, MuscleNerd, member of the evad3rs team, confirmed that the TaiG jailbreak is safe and contains nothing “too unsettling.”
The untether is much more transparent than Pangu (unobfuscated, and kernel is left open to inspection via “standard” task_for_pid0 patch)

Nothing too unsettling with that TaiG JB…just some light device fingerprinting. To see that, create an empty debuglog.cfg file next…

The “light fingerprinting” MuscleNerd writes refers to some data that TaiG sends back to its server, which you can see here. But MuscleNerd says this isn’t very serious, and recommends jailbreakers to update from iOS 8.1 to iOS 8.1.1 with TaiG.
