he also noted, “Apple has had an interesting history working with security researchers, but it appears that their vulnerability disclosure program is a massive step in the right direction to working with hackers in securing assets and allowing those interested to find and report vulnerabilities.”
Recently Apple’s relationships with its users and developers have come into question.
The Apple bug bounty program
Apple’s Developer Program is where developers use the company’s architecture to create their own apps.
The tech had long-maintained an invitation-based bug bounty program for selected security researchers looking for iOS security bugs. Originally, it only paid bounties for issues affecting physical products like the iPad or the iPhone
In December 2019, the company launched the Apple Security Bounty program as part of its commitment to ensuring that all of its infrastructure, products, and services are secure. Apple encouraged its existing developers, outside cyber researchers, and hackers to report security flaws and in return will give them rewards.
