Apple will give $ 200,000 to anyone who finds flaws in their system, Facebook style – Merca2.0

Facebook, Google or Microsoft , handle a reward system to encourage hackers to share the vulnerabilities in their systems, rather to sell on the black market, they give them some money if they show the failure .

So Apple now had not joined, but finally announced its program, albeit with caution that only developers to participate, by sending them an invitation.

$ 200,000 by a vulnerability in systems that prevent a computer is rebooted with no programs authorized by the manufacturer.
$ 100,000 for failures which can extract confidential material Secure Enclave.
$ 50,000 for the execution of a malicious or arbitrary code with kernel privileges or access to account data in iCloud’s servers Apple.
$ 25,000 for access to user data contained in very restricted environments from outside that environment.

Facebook drew attention recently when he paid $ 10,000 Jani, a 10-year-old, who detected bug that allowed him to enter servers Instagram and delete the comments made by users.

They look good figures for exposing the mistakes of large companies; however, hackers end up selling their talents to the black market because they offer sums much higher, including the FBI, which reportedly paid almost a million dollars for access to telephone one of the attackers San Bernardino shooting, in which 14 people lost their lives.
