Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) rewarded $28,500 to a team of hackers who submitted a detailed report about the 55 vulnerabilities they found after hacking the tech giant’s security bounty or bug bounty program.
In a blog post, one of the hackers, Sam Curry wrote that he and his fellow hackers spent three months hacking the Apple Security Bounty program.
Within the article I’d mentioned that Apple had not yet paid for all of the vulnerabilities. Right after publishing it, they went ahead and paid for 28 more of the issues making the running total $288,500: pic.twitter.com/WtOfndu298

He and Brett Buerhaus, Ben Sadeghipour, Samuel Erb, and Tanner Barnes worked as a team from July 6 to October 6 understanding the Apple infrastructure and targeting its individual web servers that they think are more likely to have security flaws.
According to Curry, they discovered 55 vulnerabilities with 11 critical severity, 29 high severity, 13 medium severity, and 2 low severity reports.
