In the security content support document for iOS 8.1.3, Apple credits the TaiG Jailbreak Team four times as the source of iOS exploits, such as the one highlighted below:

The TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.1.2 was released back in December, shortly after iOS 8.1.2 was made available for download. As with any jailbreak, you should never update to the next version of iOS until it’s safe to do so.
