<article> <section class="page"> <p>The value for zero-day exploits targeting Apple's iOS software is jumping. On Thursday, a company called Zerodium began offering as much as US $1.5 million for them.</p><p>Zerodium is the same company that offered $1 million (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2985238/ios/hack-ios-9-and-get-1-million-cybersecurity-firm-says.html) last year for an exclusive iOS zero-day exploit that can remotely jailbreak a device. However, that bounty was only temporary, and it was eventually awarded (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3000637/security/winner-claimed-in-1-million-ios-9-hacking-contest.html) last November.</p><p>Zerodium's new $1.5 million bounty is asking for a remote jailbreak exploit targeting iOS 10. The bounty will be offered all year long, Chaouki Bekrar, the company's CEO, said in an email. The company's original offer was a maximum of $500,000.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3126018/security/bounty-for-ios-jailbreak-exploit-jumps-to-15-million.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Bounty for iOS jailbreak exploit jumps to $1.5 million (http://www.macworld.com/article/3126018/security/bounty-for-ios-jailbreak-exploit-jumps-to-15-million.html#tk.rss_all) |
