Finally, a winner was found in the bug bounty of Zeriodium. Apple devices are generally considered by security experts to be more secure, and difficult to hack. 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 startup Zeriodium, which offered $XNUMX million for “an exclusive, browser-based, untethered jailbreak for Apple's latest iOS" and ended on October 31st.
For someone to win the money έπρεπε να παραδώσει στην Zerοdium ένα exploit ικανό να λειτουργήσει μέσω ενός browser (Safari ή Chrome) ή μέσα από ένα 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!
