Thought Experiment: Pick One Zero-Day to Make $100 Million - ·CHESTER· - Jul 10, 2025
Let’s play a thought experiment. You can choose any single zero-day exploit—Windows 11, Android, iPhone, Linux Kernel, anything you want. Your goal is to make $100 million. Which zero-day would you choose, and how would you turn it into $100 million?

How would you convert the iphone zero day into a billion dollars? Don't forget, it will probably only be alive for a few hours before apple patches it.

It would have to be android. I think that would be the most profitable if done right

I thought about that, but I think they have zero day mitigations in place.
