Yeah, but if you're using a shut down system like iOS as your daily driver, chances are still pretty slim that this will ever happen to you.

That's pretty counter effective for jailbreaking though ...

You make it sound really easy, but I remember only one istance something like that happened. For 1.000.000$... after half a year of waiting.

Also it's the other way round. You can SELL your sick zero-days to groups like zerodium for a whopping 1.5 milions, but where to buy one?

Yes, getting root access remotely on an iOS device is a big deal, but that is still far far away from something like ransomware.

(1/2) Because 1.: As I already said, it's close to impossible to find the necessary 0-days, and even if you did, there's much more

(2/2) profitable things you could do with those (eg. selling) 2.: With the modern jailbreaks, a reboot is all it takes to get rid off root.

And the one guy who may have found a way to beat it got doxed by the media.
