HACK INTO UPDATED iPHONE AND GET $1M – APPLE
Makers of iPhone, Apple have placed a $1M on the hacking of its updated brand.
This is part of the company’s newly expanded bounty program.
Apple’s head of security engineering Ivan Krsti made this known at a conference in Las Vegas.
In previous the programmes, hackers who were invited were offered up to $200,000.
This year’s edition will include all Apple platforms, including iOS, iCloud, tvOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS.
The full $1 million will go to a hacker who can gain full control of an iPhone without the phone’s owner interacting with it.
Bug bounty programs have become increasingly popular among tech companies, offering hackers financial incentives for reporting security flaws missed by the companies instead of exploiting them. Krsti? said Apple’s bug bounty program has been a success since its inception, with 50 serious bugs reported since 2016.
