Apple Confirms $1M Reward for Anyone Who Can Hack an iPhone
For the naive guy that do not know how the trade of exploits really works and keep hearing of &quot;black markets,&quot; do you care to explain in realistic terms how these things work?<p>Where are the trades happening? Is it the exploiter putting out something like &quot;kernel exploit for iOS xx.x&quot; ? Or the exploiter bids on people offering money? How is the seeker of exploits going to be sure that the exploit is working? How do the people keep their anonimity? And how does the money is exchanged? Crypto currencies? And how was it working before crypto?<p>Are governments bidding but they also want to convict the exploiter so they get the exploit for free? I remember watching one or two movies where the hacker was caught and was sentenced to jail. Government stepped in and said: &quot;You can either be in jail for n years or work with the good guys for n&#x2F;2 years&quot; Is it just science fiction?
