Zerodium Offers $1.5 Million for iOS 10 Zero-Day Exploit

A security firm called Zerodium has promised $1.5 million to anyone who finds a zero-day vulnerability in iOS 10. The award for finding a similar vulnerability in iOS 9 was previously $1 million.

Zerodium is a company that sells security vulnerabilities to governmental agencies and private companies. The firm pays hackers who find critical vulnerabilities in iOS and Android and its awards are higher than those offered by Apple, Google, or other interested parties.

While the majority of existing bug bounty programs accept almost any kind of vulnerabilities and PoCs but pay lower rewards, at ZERODIUM we focus on high-risk vulnerabilities with fully functional exploits, and we pay the highest rewards on the market.

Last year, a team of developers won the $1 million award for hacking Apple’s iOS 9. It took them about a month and a half to do this. Let’s see if someone jailbreaks iOS 10, which is said to be more secure and protected. Stay tuned for updates on the topic.
