Today the Apple company is organizing what it wanted to be a meeting secret with some of the most famous hackers who discovered vulnerabilities in iOS and OS X. They were invited to Cupertino to talk with people from the teams that develop these operating systems, those from Cupertino will try to convince them to participate in its new vulnerability buyback program.
Announced a few months ago, this program will offer hackers up to 200.000 dollars for various types of vulnerabilities discovered in the iOS and OS X operating systems. The program would be initiated in the following days, and those from Apple choose themselves the people who is going to benefit from the money flows offered within it.
Through this limitation, the Apple company seeks to promote the program as an exclusive one that hackers can be proud to be a part of. At the same time, Apple seeks to find very important vulnerabilities and people serious enough not to send them vulnerabilities that do not have a major impact on their operating system.
The most famous iOS and OS X hackers meet at the Apple headquarters in Cupertino
So far it is known that among the invited hackers are Luca Todesco, the 19-year-old Italian who has already jailbroken the iPhone 7, Nicholas Allegra, known by the nickname comex, Patrick Wardle, Francisco Alonso, Stefan Esser who launched jailbreak solutions in past, Braden Thomas, Pedro Vilaca and Jonathan Zdziarski, the Romanian Alex Ionescu, Steven De Franco known as iH8sn0w, but also Hao Xu, one of the Pangu Team members.
Apple chose the participants from a list of computer security researchers from whom it received information regarding existing vulnerabilities in iOS or OS X. You can notice that we are also talking about hackers who have released jailbreak solutions so far, those from Pangu being the last ones to offer us such software for iOS.
Through this meeting, Apple is trying to convince computer security researchers and hackers to stop selling their vulnerabilities to other companies, or to stop making them public. Of course, the amounts offered by Apple must increase to convince them, so it remains to be seen what the result of this meeting will be.
So far, it seems that there are chances that jailbreak solutions will disappear if Apple will have serious amounts of money ready for hackers.
Or can he pay them to stop making fun of them?
It's like I see Luca selling all his exploits..
The only company that deals with the security of its terminals, The best apple??
JB won't give it away no matter what Appel will do. "Maybe a very stable ISO" but not even then✌️
