Subject: Apple to pay $1 million to anyone who can hack iPhone -- OK, I'll do it! Mon Aug 12, 2019 5:30 am
Apple is offering a $1 million reward to anyone who can hack an iPhone as part of the company’s newly-expanded bug bounty program. The tech giant’s head of security engineering Ivan Krstić shared the news at a conference in Las Vegas on Thursday, CBS reported. Previously, the program was invite-only and the highest reward was $200,000. And for the first time, the program 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. “This is an unprecedented fully Apple supported iOS security research platform,” Krstić said at the conference.
