Hackers Reveal the Price of iOS Jailbreaks at #HITB2012AMS
There have been a lot of interesting developments here at Hack in the Box in Amsterdam, and one of them is the first ever union of the jailbreak Dream Team. Today, Softpedia has had the chance to interview the members of the Chronic Dev Team and learn some things that many were probably curious about.
One of the topics we discussed referred to the financial value of jailbreaks. So how much is their work and the information they possess worth?
“This is hard to answer. I think it depends on who you sell your exploits to, if it’s for the underground or the legal scene,” Pod2g said. “This is a difficult question to answer, but it's a lot. Every jailbreak exploit represents like, maybe, $100,000. This is the price of all root exploits.” We then asked him to comment on a recent statement in which he said he wouldn’t sell the beta version even for $1 million (760,000 EUR).
