They were already available to everyone. You just didn't know about it, and now you do and can take protective measures.
- blub 7y agoThat they were available to everyone is obviously false, since it took a team of skilled bug hunters to find them. The only way to know that other actors were aware of the bugs if there were reports of active exploitation. Were there? In any case, the software industry has a nice racket going: 1. Get paid lots of money to develop broken software. 2. Get paid lots of money to find security holes. 3. Expect praise from us customers that version X+1 is still broken, but now in different ways. No thanks Google, no thanks Apple. The game's over anyway, several unsavory companies have access to iOS zero days, see the Bezos case.
