Zerodium has announced that they have a winner of their $1,000,000 bounty for a browser-based untethered jailbreak of iOS 9.
The company announced the bounty program last month.
ZERODIUM will pay out one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000.00) to each individual or team who creates and submits to ZERODIUM an exclusive, browser-based, and untethered jailbreak for the latest Apple iOS 9 operating system and devices. The program is open until October 31st, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. EDT, and may be terminated prior to its expiration if the total payout to researchers reaches three million U.S. dollars ($3,000,000.00).
Today, Zerodium announced on Twitter that one team has won the award.
Our iOS #0day bounty has expired & we have one winning team who made a remote browser-based iOS 9.1/9.2b #jailbreak (untethered). Congrats!
The team behind the jailbreak hasn't been revealed yet and considering Zerodium has paid $1,000,000 for the jailbreak, it is unlikely that we'll see it released to the public. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
I been trying for months too do this. I I discovered your ass and clicked on it and see everything that was on it I was like oh my god is this for real. I am 53 years old and I am dying too do this. Please help. Thank you so much:
Hey guys, Zerodium did not put out the bounty to sell the jailbreak to end users. They will sell the exploit to government agencies.
Congrats to the person/people who did it. Hope zerodium pays up promptly for you.
I hope they post a bounty for a successful jailbreak for the new Apple TV. That would truly be remarkable if an individual or team claimed that prize. I might even pay (a small fee) if they released it to the public.
