In the Mobile platform, Zerodium Increased Payouts for WhatsApp RCE and iMessage RCE + LPE (Zero-Click) without persistence from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.

According to ZERODIUM new report, “The amounts paid to researchers to acquire their original zero-day exploits depend on the popularity and security level of the affected software/system, as well as the quality of the submitted exploit (full or partial chain, supported versions/systems/architectures, reliability, bypassed exploit mitigations, default vs. non-default components, process continuation, etc). 

New changes applied only for mobile platform and there is no changes in Desktops/Servers based zero-day exploit acquisition.
