Hacking Apple for $288,500

Sam Curry writes that he and four hacker friends recently spent 3 months working on the Apple bug bounty program 👾

In other words, they got paid to find and report vulnerabilities in Apple’s infrastructure.

And they’ll probably get paid even more:

As of now, October 8th, we have received 32 payments totaling $288,500 for various vulnerabilities.

However, it appears that Apple does payments in batches and will likely pay for more of the issues in the following months.

That works to almost $20k/month per hacker so far 🤑
