- shorthistory 4y agoMy thoughts also... can this be bigger than FTX? Can iOS/Android apps be updated without 3rd party approval?
- sgammon 4y agoThere is no evidence that a bypass occurred related to iOS or Android app review An analysis of the app update showed it disabling user features like account transfers. That makes sense for their bankruptcy steps.
- gfd 4y agoiirc someone on hn said the going rate for zero-days is just $1-2 million. there were at least 3 RCE on chrome just this year: https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/15/google-third-fix-chrome-vulnerability/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/04/15/google-third-fix-chro... the math works out for someone to spend it here given the amount of panicky crypto whales trying to get their money out of ftx. (OTOH, the math also suggest that these exchanges should've been hacked long long ago if these cheap zero days exist, so idk)
