It’s no secret that iPhones, along with most other smartphones and just technology in general really, mean big business, but now one company is offering a VERY HEFTY reward if anyone can do something rather different to what you do with your phone on a day-to-day basis.

That special thing being jailbreaking the iPhone’s latest operating system, iOS 10.

Crikey.

Wired reports that exploit broker Zerodium has announced that their new ‘bounty’ for zero-day(an unknown vulnerability in software and its security) exploits is now $1.5million, which will go to whoever can complete a remote jailbreak of iOS 10.

The reward stands at $200,000 for Android 7 Nougat exploits.

Company found Chaouki Bekrar explained: “We’ve increased the price due to the increased security for both iOS 10 and Android 7. We would like to attract more researchers all year long.”

Apple, meanwhile, has an ‘invite-only bug programme’, which gives hackers a $200,000 reward to find flaws and report them to the company.

Jailbreaker C0deH4cker told Vice Motherboard: “Now that Apple has a well-paying bug bounty, companies like Zerodium will have to pay more to convince researchers to sell their bugs rather than responsibly disclosing them to Apple.”

They added: “I would rather responsibly disclose iOS vulnerabilities I find to Apple than sell them. If I were to sell a ‘remote jailbreak’ (which is just a euphemism for ‘complete remote takeover’) to a company like Zerodium, the security vulnerabilities will not get fixed.

“Also, I would have no idea what my exploits would be used for or who the final buyer would be, such as a domestic or foreign government agency. That’s where the balance of morals and money comes in.”

While some might be working to complete this hack, a 19-year-old has already claimed to have jailbroken the phone. Wowsers.
