Let’s give a experienced group of hackers nearly unlimited budget to find security holes in your competitor’s products.
There’s of course, zero bias in that approach, none whatsoever. /s
If project zero spent even half as much time finding and fixing security exploits in Android as they do just finding exploits in IOS, Google would have a truly competitive product from a security perspective.

Zerodium stopped paying for iOS exploits due to oversupply[1][2] [1]: https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/05/14/software-bug-broker-zerodium-to-stop-buying-ios-exploits-due-to-oversupply https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/05/14/software-bug-brok...

- kanox 6y agoI really don't see the problem with this, finding vulnerabilities is hard work and many times the results are used for nefarious purposes. You seem to be concerned that Project Zero would be used as marketing material against competitors but I saw no sign of that. Apple should thank Google for the high quality free labor.
