It seemed that there will be no iOS 8.2 jailbreak release happening after Apple announced the official version of the iOS 8.3 last week.
Bad news for iOS users who wanted to jailbreak their devices, the new iOS 8.3 include several security patches, including to the alleged key exploit used by TaiG in jailbreaking the iOS 8.2. Thus, users must stay away from iOS 8.3, if it is still true that TaiG will roll out the iOS 8.2 jailbreak soon.
iOS Jailbreak developer MuscleNerd warned iOS users not to download the new iOS 8.3 as the operating system packs 39 security bugs that rivals the jump from iOS 7.x to iOS 8. This is bad for jailbreakers as it prevents the roll out of the next jailbreak.
Meanwhile, Today's iPhone quoted the patch from TaiG Jailbreak Team that will make users most interested.
