Zerodium, a privately held and venture backed startup cybersecurity firm, has announced The Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty, the world’s biggest zero-day bug bounty program that offers a $1 million bounty to anyone who can jailbreak Apple’s recently released iOS 9.
The company is willing to pay out a total of $3 million ($1 million to each individual or team) in rewards who creates and submits to Zerodium an “exclusive, browser-based, and untethered jailbreak for the latest Apple iOS 9” operating system and devices. The Zerodium iOS 9 Bounty program is open until October 31, 2015, 6:00 p.m. EDT.
“Apple iOS, like all operating system, is often affected by critical security vulnerabilities, however due to the increasing number of security improvements and the effectiveness of exploit mitigations in place, Apple’s iOS is currently the most secure mobile OS. But don’t be fooled, secure does not mean unbreakable, it just means that iOS has currently the highest cost and complexity of vulnerability exploitation and here’s where the Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty comes into play.” Zerodium said on their website.
