Russian company offers $20m for hacking tools to compromise iPhones and Android devices. Operation Zero is looking for critical exploits like Remote Code Execution (RCE), Local Privilege Escalation (LPE), and Sandbox Escape (SBX) for mobile devices. These devices are increasingly targeted by both nation-state and non-nation-state actors. The company's stipulation is that the end user must belong to a non-NATO country. This raises concerns about the potential misuse of the hacking tools. Some question the ethics and consequences of offering such lucrative rewards for exploits that can compromise the security and privacy of smartphone users. The timing of this announcement follows OpenAI's bug bounty program that offers rewards of up to $20,000 for uncovering security vulnerabilities. #RussianCompany #HackingTools #NonNATO #MobileDevices #Exploits #Security #Privacy
