$1 Million Bounty for iPhone Jailbreak Has Been CLAIMED

[Gill Bates]

That's right, Zerodium's bug bounty I posted about a while back has been claimed.
The hackers are unknown, but Zerodium has confirmed that someone/some group has successfully provided a remote jailbreak method to them.
This will most likely be sold to the U.S government in order for them to be able to remotely tap into target's phones.

What do you think about this?

Over the weekend, somebody claimed the $1 million bounty set by the new startup Zerodium, according to its founder Chaouki Bekrar, a notorious merchant of unknown, or zero-day, vulnerabilities.

Bekrar declined to identify the team that won the prize, as well as details about the exploits they found. He also declined to say how much he is planning to sell this exploit for.

But there’s no doubt that for some, this exploit is extremely valuable. Intelligence agencies such as the NSA and the CIA have run into problems when trying to hack into iPhones to spy on their targets, and the FBI has publicly complained about Apple’s encryption for months. This exploit would allow them to get around any security measures and get into the target’s iPhone to intercept calls, messages, and access data stored in the phone.

Computer science is just like a whole different world. Trust me once you go deep into reversing, coding, kernel, circuits and shit you pretty much work in a new world.

It was most certainly a group, rather than a single individual.
This would require a lot of work and would be extremely hard for a single individual to complete within that time frame.
But yes, very smart individuals.

It's more of an experience thing, rather than being "smart."
Maybe being smart == being experienced, in some cases? Idk.

Fuckin U S of A.

I don't really care if they spy on my shit, but still, I hate how the government tends to do as they please sometimes...

I hate how America gets all triggered and shit saying "ITS MY PRIVATE INFORMATION YOU CANT SEE IT ITS MY RIGHT" even though it's literally for your own security. It's not like they're jacking off to your hot sexts, if you have nothing to hide that's a federal offense, then you're fine...

Dumbest argument ever, "If you have nothing to hide...then you're fine."
