The Zerodium security company announced that it offered 1 a million dollars to anyone who discovers vulnerabilities points in iOS 9, which will allow a non-jailbroken device be hacked and controlled remotely.
But let's see why and why:
Η εταιρεία φέρεται να αναζητεί ένα exploit που μπορεί να διανεμηθεί μέσα από μια ιστοσελίδα ένα μήνυμα κειμένου ή ένα MMS και θα επιτρέπει την εγκατάσταση μιας εφαρμογής στα τελευταία 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 it is not completely immune to attacks, as shown by the recent App Store violation.
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 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.
Please note that the terms of the competition state that the error should 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.
