>>>>>> Let's focus on the important details I quote below OK. <<<<<<

Citizen Lab was still investigating how Giertych’s phone was infected but said it expects a “zero-click” vulnerability, which wouldn’t involve user interaction. They believe Wrzosek was similarly hacked.

The “jaw-droppingly aggressive” tempo and intensity of the targeting — day-by-day, even hour-by-hour — suggested “a desperate desire to monitor his communications,” Scott-Railton said. It was so unrelenting that the iPhone became useless and Giertych abandoned it.

“This phone was with me in my bedroom and it was with me when I went to confession. They scanned my life totally,” he said.


Is the situation a precedence and NSO group is something new? No.

Is even offering a reward for finding a vulnerability in a *system, actually a thing?

Yes it is, but my google skills suck (nothing more meant here, I did nothing here+ Show Spoiler +
:late edit: yet
), however I remember where I read about it. Please be patient with me, allow me to take you on my thought flow here, when I literally only just now make this blog entry. BTW the site with the info I'm looking for, I want to show you as an example, happens to be... Polish. Also of course in Polish.

+ Show Spoiler +
  1. OK, don't focus on specific words here. Please. Focus on the sheer amount. Please.
    "dziury" means "holes". As in holes in a *system causing a vulnerability in it.
    https://niebezpiecznik.pl/?s=dziury
    https://niebezpiecznik.pl/page/2/?s=dziury

  2. OK I need to use a better phrase for the search.
    https://niebezpiecznik.pl/?s=nagrody za dziury
    "rewards for holes" also not it LOL

  3. "million for a hole" --> google translate liability to polish --> I kept using the word wrong, dear reader please advise --> ????? --> OHHHH shame it's in Polish wtf --> you can't see a certain word in the blog now

  4. what are the rewards for finding OS vulnerability
    Interesting, potential read! But not it, still. However:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_bounty_program restored my faith in humanity
    Also
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_for_zero-day_exploits
    + Show Spoiler +
    yes Google... YES! nearly there... Stronger! FASTER! HARDER!


  5. ?????????? literally. I'm tired of google. I need to catch fresh air.
    In the meanwhile:+ Show Spoiler +


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-arms_industry#Vendor_responses
    In recent years, many software firms have had success with bug bounty programs, but in some cases such as with Vupen's Chrome exploit these will be rejected as below market value. Meanwhile, some vendors such as HP spent more than $7 million between 2005 and 2015 buying exploits for its own software. This behaviour has been criticised by head of the United States Cyber Command, General Keith Alexander. This criticism then is known as "building the black market".[9]


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_B._Alexander#Statements_to_the_public_regarding_NSA_operations
    On Snowden, Alexander told Joye: "I suspect Russian intelligence are driving what he does. Understand as well that they're only going to let him do those things that benefit ]Russia, or stand to help improve Snowden's credibility".

    below is OH NOES them woes!
    "... does the NSA really keep a file on everyone?,"

    in response to questions from Representative Hank Johnson

    asked by a member of the press if

    "Does the NSA really keep a file on everyone, and if so, how can I see mine?"

    Alexander was asked by Senator Mark Udall

    Instead of losing patience, which is understandable, play them a recording of your own answer. With a hashtagged number on it. Keep updating the number for the future use.

    also btw
    In the fall of 2014 Alexander told a public forum that someone else had claimed a $9,000 IRS refund in his name, and that the thieves used his identity to apply for about 20 credit cards.

    Happens to the best.
