Apple will pay you a million dollars if you achieve this thing that you are challenging everyone with
To prove the security of its apps and artificial intelligence, Apple has confirmed that it will pay $1 million to anyone who can hack its artificial intelligence. News that gives a lot to talk about on social networks.
Not only that, because as we will explain later, she has created a kind of list of “achievements” (with their rewards) related to the topic of hacking.
Under the name Apple Security Bounty, Apple has created a kind of “challenge” for cybercriminals that consists of rewarding all those who managed to achieve certain achievements and somehow hack its digital security system.
The list we leave you below is divided into several categories:
- Remote attack based on data request:
Those who successfully execute arbitrary code with arbitrary rights will win the grand prize: $1 million! In this same category and as a consolation prize, those who access user request data or confidential information about user requests outside the bounds of trust will also receive a cash prize of $250,000.
- Attack based on a data request from a privileged location in the network:
Those who gain access to user app data or other sensitive information about the user outside the bounds of trust will receive $150,000.
For their part, those who manage to execute untested code will receive another $100,000, and finally, hackers who are able to accidentally or unexpectedly disclose data due to an implementation or configuration problem will win the “smaller” prize: $50,000.
With all this explained, what is the purpose of this kind of challenge that Apple presents to cybercriminals? Well, it is quite simple: to prove that its level of digital security is incredible and impenetrable, which can attract a large number of potential customers, ranging from new financial entities to investment groups.
This is a huge credit to Apple when it comes to demonstrating its level of security in the fight against hackers, paying millions to anyone who can break into it. It's a campaign that's as bizarre and risky as it is eye-catching, and if it goes well, it's been designed to be a great success.
