As a result of the events that occurred this year with the went and Apple as protagonists, the company away from scare you and giving in to the requests of the Government seems even more to improve the security and privacy of your devices has been focused. Is by this that now not only goes to resort to its engineers and experts of security to solve them possible failures that detected in their systems operating, but also goes to offer rewards quite succulent to those that are failures of security, without have that be worker of Apple or an expert in security of a great company. Attention hackers: up to $200,000 can be yours if you find a major bug in iOS.
Is a made quite surprising that, not less surprising, is has announced in the Conference about security Black Hat, in which the maximum responsible of security of Apple has participated. And although it has not given more details about if it will only be applicable to iOS or will be extended to the rest of operating systems (macOS, tvOS and watchOS), which has unveiled “rewards” that will offer Apple: from $200,000 for the most important bugs up to $25,000 for others less relevant.
The question is whether Apple will allow those who find those bugs use them to perform, for example, the Jailbreak. Seems quite doubtful that the company accept that, by what could be that the hackers is it think two times before launch a Jailbreak if can get a good Prize from Apple. Perhaps the company has achieved with this kill two birds with one stone, first to a legion of contributors to work on the improvement of its systems, and on the other hand reduce the chances that a Jailbreak comes to light with iOS 10.
