Google Project Zero wants Apple to donate $ 2.5 million to charity

Ian Beer, a member of the Google Project Zero security team, wants Apple to donate 2.5 million dollars to charity for the bugs and exploits of iOS that he discovered. Google, Microsoft and other large companies have programs that pay hackers and security experts large sums of money for finding bugs in their systems, services and devices.

Apple also has such a program, but the company itself invites experts to it, so that not everyone can receive a cash reward.

Ian Beer is not a member of the Apple program, so the company never pays him for the detected iOS bugs. According to Jen, Apple owes him 1.23 million dollars for all the bugs he found. He prefers that the company double this amount and donate it to charity.

The specialist also criticized Apple's program. According to him, although it appeared in 2016, in practice it is of little use to it.

"I do not think that Apple used its PR program, but the company managed to advertise itself well; there were often mentioned large sums of millions of dollars, but this is only in words. "

Get a payment from Apple for bugs iOS is not so simple, so it is more profitable for a specialist to sell them on the black market for large amounts. Let's see if the company meets the demand of Jena, or not.
