Zerodium, which is part of the exploit acquisition platform software sector, has offered $1.5 million for a complete hack of the iOS 10 from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).
Zerodium describes a full hack as follows:
ZERODIUM pays premium rewards to security researchers to acquire their original and previously unreported zero-day exploits affecting major operating systems, software, and/or devices. 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.
MacRumors quotes founder Chaouki Bekrar:
We’ve increased the price due to the increased security for both iOS 10 and Android 7, and we would like to attract more researchers all year long, not just during a specific bounty period as we did last time.
For those with the skills a full list of bounties offered by Zerodium:
| Product / Exploit Type | New Price | Previous Price |
