Clever marketing.

Lots of free advertising, very unlikely to actually pay.

Another unknown company plugs itself through PRNewswire, gets picked up on blogs everywhere.

What are the odds that Zerodium is based out of Fort Meade?

Anybody willing to put up this kind of money with Microsoft in mind?

From their website:

ZERODIUM customers are major corporations in defense, technology, and finance…

Sure they are...

Found this interesting paragraph from the Wired article on the bounty:

Zerodium founder Chaouki Bekrar has long been one of the few public faces of the zero-day industry; In addition to his new startup Zerodium, which launched in July, he’s also the founder of the more established French hacking firm Vupen, which has been unusually open about the fact that it develops intrusion techniques for popular software and sells them to government agencies around the world. With the new company and his flashy iOS bounty, Bekrar is expanding from merely creating zero-days to brokering them, too, as a kind of hacker middleman.

I'm old, I just don't like a world that rewards these guys.

Not sure why anyone would be concerned with IOS9, since (last I looked) IOS15 is the current version?
