piracy to $ 1.5 million. This is the offer do so by the company Zerodium, expert in digital security, which promises a similar bonus to the one who will be able to hack iOS 10, the latest version of the operating system of Apple. More precisely, it is necessary to pass a “jailbreak”, that is, the circumventing distance of the security put in place by the software giant. These security holes are then used to access the data from the device and install malicious software.
Zerodium, who then exploit these flaws to sell protection systems, had already distinguished himself last year by pledging € 1 million to the hacker that would allow him to remotely control an iPhone running iOS 9. Mission accomplished in a few weeks. The company also offers 200 000 euros for a jailbreak Android 7, or 100 000 euros for such operation on a Windows Phone.
Apple has also its compensation program from hackers who would put these security vulnerabilities. Premiums the highest can reach up to 200 000 euros. Far, very far from the amount humongous offered by Zerodium.
