So it only takes a couple million dollars to finance an exploit that circumvents all security from a billion iphones? Holy Heck, this must just be the tip of an iceberg.
- dymk 7y ago“Only” a couple million dollars?
- lallysingh 7y agoOh you'll make that money back easy. I wonder of Hack-Venture-Capital is a thing yet.
- blueadept111 7y agoApple could afford to spend a couple million dollars to find those same security problems and then fix them before everyone's phones became compromised, but apparently they weren't as interested.
- dymk 7y agoIf you read the public statement issued, you’d know that Apple had already been fixing the problem before Google even reported it to them.
- andreasley 7y agoApple can (and does) spend lots of millions of dollars to find security vulnerabilities in their products, but it probably won't be the same ones that some malicious actor finds. All our devices are riddled with (hard to find) holes and that's not going to change anytime soon.
- xbmcuser 7y agoFrom looks of it many of the vulnerabilies could have have actually been found at the time of coding if some security best practices were followed
- amazingman 7y agoThey already do literally this.
- ecf 7y agoHave you ever looked into the jailbreaking scene? Some teams give out exploits for free (donations accepted) that allow root access. Not that far fetched for a more focused team to do better.
