Finally, a winner was found in bug bounty of Zeriodium. Apple devices are generally considered by experts security more secure, and difficult to breach. But difficult does not mean impossible.
During the weekend someone was able to prove that it is possible to violate at least one of these Apple devices: the iPhone.
The hack came after a challenge issued in September as a bug bounty by the startup Zeriodium, which offered $31 million for "an exclusive, browser-based, untethered jailbreak for Apple's latest iOS" and ended on October XNUMX.
In order to win the money, one had to deliver to Zerodium an exploit capable of working through a browser (Safari or Chrome) or through a message text or multimedia.
Zerodium after payment can have full rights and the ability to install it wherever it wants.
This method is quite complicated for many reasons. The last time we saw such a jailbreak was with iOS 7.
Zerodium has not yet announced the name of the person or team who won the one million prize.
Our iOS #0day bounty has expired & we have one winning team who made a remote browser-based iOS 9.1 / 9.2b #jailbreak (untethered). Congrats!
