Price of Apple iOS exploits falls below that of Android exploits for first time ever: Report

Zero-day exploits target undisclosed vulnerabilities in an operating system or piece of software. Apple’s iOS operating system has for long maintained a reputation for being far more secure than rival Android. According to a report by ArsTechnica, exploit broker Zerodium is paying a higher price for zero-day “full chain” Android exploits than for iOS ones. At $2.5 mn for an Android exploit and $2 mn for iOS, these still aren’t cheap, but it’s the first time Android exploit prices have overtaken iOS exploit prices.
