A hacking team has managed to walk away with a $1 million prize after providing a notorious zero-day exploit to Zerodium, a firm that specializes in acquiring zero-day exploits from around the world.

According to the firm, the team that won the bounty had entered the competition just hours before the Oct. 31 deadline. To get the hefty bounty, the team found vulnerabilities in Google's Chrome web browser and in Apple's iOS 9, the latest operating system for its iOS line of mobile devices.

The vulnerability could allow anyone to gain access to and jailbreak an iPhone or iPad running iOS 9 remotely. Apple should be concerned since Zerodium now has all rights to this exploit, which could accidently end up in the wrong hands.

I find it amazing how people figure things like this out.

For all I know, there are fucking gnomes in my phone.
