Zerodium Offers $1.5 Million Bounty for iOS 10 Jailbreak
Different to the last year, Zerodium has lifted reward for iOS 10 jailbreak at $1.5 million. This time the focus is for a functioning remote jailbreak iOS 10 with a larger bounty. So now the open chance can be grabbed by eligible hackers proving the exploits working. And by giving rights to Zerodium, the company that buying hacking talent since years in purpose of finding 0-day exploits in different operating systems hackers can collect the reward. So let’s have a look on all new facts that could effect the progress of iOS 10 jailbreak.
$1.5 Million to Grab
Zerodium was buying functional exploits since years. In last year the firm announced a $1 million bounty program for iOS 9 jailbreak and this time it has raised to $1.5 million. The initial offering for iOS 10 jailbreak was at $500,000. But then the stakes raised knowing the hard security measures of latest iOS 10 as to what Zerodium CEO Chaouki Bekrar mentioned. And for the interesting part the Zerodium’s bounty program going to run all year long opposed to the limited programs in previous times. In that way Zerodium appears over Apple’s own attempts to attract high-profile hackers in the stand of iOS 10.
Will $1.5 Million Bounty Haste the Launch of iOS 10 Jailbreak
The new Zerodium bounty for iOS 10 jailbreak is a kind of a motivation for developers and hackers to work on iOS 10. But still we do not know when these high hopes going to be treated with a working tool. As the money-spinning bounty reveals the high security measures of latest iOS 10, we cannot predict of a time iOS 10 jailbreak could view. So let’s wait with hopes.
Note: Apple has updated iOS 10 to iOS 10.0.1 and then to iOS 10.0.2. In the recent update iOS 10.0.2 we find fixes to iOS 10 several minor glitches including the iPhone 7 Audio bug. And at the same you can now download iOS 10.1 beta 1 if you are a member of Apple beta testing program which promised to offer portrait mode to iPhone 7 Plus stock camera app
Is Pangu working for iOS 10 Jailbreak?
Since the day iOS 10 showcased at WWDC, we found many discussions subjected to Cydia iOS 10. For the most recent case we find iPhone 7 Jailbreak with Luca Todesco’s picture proof. But as developer Luca and iH8snow are not ready to tool releases we only have hope on Pangu jailbreak.
Pangu is the only team to reveal iOS 10 jailbreak even at betas. As to what they screen casted at MOSEC back in July, Pangu 10 jailbreak could largely be their upcoming work over Pangu 9.3.3. But as still no confirmations we will have to sit tight on current Pangu 9.3.3 jailbreak until Pangu 10 or a different tool confirms.
Pangu 10 will work for:
- Newest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
- 6th Gen iPod touch
- iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s
- iPad mini 2, iPad mini and iPad mini 4
- iPad 4, iPad Air and iPad Air 2
- 12.9 inch and 9.7 inch iPad Pro models
- iPhone SE
In previous cases, these type of big bounties has not stopped teams like Pangu or TaiG on their jailbreak releases. So let’s wait to see all new on iOS 10 Jailbreak in times to future. Stay with us and hunt all iOS jailbreak and Cydia updates.
