Apple has massively increased the amount it’s offering hackers for finding vulnerabilities in iPhones and Macs, up to $1 million. It’s by far the highest bug bounty on offer from any major tech company.
Apple is making some major changes to the bug-bounty program it introduced in 2016, including the introduction of a new million-dollar reward.

The company says it will pay out $1 million to security researchers who can carry out what is known as a zero-click full chain kernel execution attack with persistence. That means anyone who can get to the core of Apple's iOS operating system and gain control of an iPhone in a way that wouldn't require any user interaction would be eligible for the payout, as Forbes and TechCrunch explain.

That's a substantial difference from the $200,000 maximum it paid out to researchers when the program launched. It's also the biggest bug-bounty reward offered by a major technology company, according to Forbes. Those who spot a vulnerability in a beta version of Apple's software before it launches can also receive a 50% bonus.


Apple announced the changes to its bug-bounty program during the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas alongside other critical updates. In addition to the new $1 million reward, Apple also revealed that it's expanding the program to its other platforms such as macOS, tvOS, and watchOS, the software that powers its Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch products. The company is also nixing the program's invite-only requirement and is opening it to all researchers who wish to participate.
