You can almost assuredly sell exploits illegally/unethically for a serious amount if you have the right connections. We know that iOS zerodays have sold north of 2 million $.

I don't know that. I can't find anything on G or DDG - can you point me towards some data/links?

Thank you!

Summary: Wired report is a $1M and Ars reports three, one at $2.5M - all paid by Zerodium. Wow.

If you have a iOS/iCloud/Google 0day, you will absolutely fetch tens of millions from it assuming it's the real deal (reliable, etc).

Google, on the other hand, regularly pays white-hats something like $100k for "arbitrary access to contents of any Gmail content".
