DreamJB Confirmed Fake [Unfortunately]
We posted earlier today about a skeptical but possible untethered jailbreak for all iOS 6 iDevices, including the iPhone 5, iPad Mini + others. The DreamJB team have uploaded a youtube video (shown below) which has been confirmed fake by many users within the Jailbreak community including MuscleNerd.

Now, other than the fact that the DreamJB “developer” has already admitted that this was nothing more than a “social experiment,” here are …

Users who have been using our Windows Absinthe jailbreak tutorial have been reporting that when they click the Absinthe icon they get taken to the greenpois0n page and nothing else happens.
