Η company Zerodium security announced that it offered 1 a million dollars to anyone who discovers vulnerabilities in iOS 9, which will allow a non-jailbroken device be hacked and controlled remotely.
But let's see why and why:
The company is reportedly looking for a exploit that can be distributed through a web page a text message or an MMS and will allow the installation of an application on the latest iPhones and iPads.
Practically with today's data to do this, exploit should perform jailbreak on the device.
It is known that every Apple operating system is extremely secure, but it is also known that they are not completely immune to attacks, as shown by the recent infringement in the App Store.
Zerodium says:
"Do not be fooled, safe does not mean something does not break, and it just means that iOS 'breaking' will have a higher cost for the complexity of exploiting the vulnerability and this is where the Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty comes in."
But why does Zerodium need the iOS hack? The company also has a business selling such exploits to government agencies and corporate clients. So he could be interested in commercializing the hack product.
We should mention that the conditions of the competition state that the error must not be disclosed to Apple or publicly in any way.
Hackers have a deadline until October 31 to submit their work, which should include an explanatory whitepaper.
Zerodium security company is willing to pay up to three exploits, up to 3.000.000 dollars.
