Million Dollar Baby: iOS 9 erzwingt höchstes Kopfgeld für eine Sicherheitslücke

Today it’s come into the spotlight with the biggest bounty ever publicly offered for a single such exploit: $1 million for a technique that can break into an iPhone or iPad running Apple’s freshly released iOS 9. […]

When I assembled a price list for secret software exploits in 2012 based on talking to players in the zero-day trade, an iOS exploit sold for $250,000, far more than the mere $60,000 for an Android hack. The next year, the New York Times reported that an iPhone zero-day sold for $500,000.

Auch ein (PR-trächtiger) Rekord, irgendwie.
