Apple’s Bug Bounty Challenge: Discover AI Server Flaws and Win ₹8 Crore!
Apple recently publicly demoed its latest AI intelligence features. The company was fully confident of the safety of its new AI server platforms. To make them safer, Apple has added a bug bounty program under which rewards of up to ₹8 crore, roughly equivalent to $1 million, are being offered for the identification and reporting of critical vulnerabilities in its PCC. This platform powers AI intelligence features in Apple and the bug bounty program forms part of Apple's efforts to secure its infrastructure.
Big Rewards for Skills, Effort, and Time
This ensures that external professionals check potential vulnerabilities that will need security enhancements. A good way to improve Apple's assurance in its own PCC infrastructure's security standards on privacy is through having bounty programs. These ensure a given third-party researcher's exploration of Apple's system infrastructure in search of existing vulnerability sites. The day somebody happens to discover certain vulnerable holes that can penetrate this entire system, their wealthier reward package as rewards will be set; a payment for skills exerted plus time and all time expended.
Types of Vulnerabilities Apple Seeks to Protect against
Apple has provided clear types of security vulnerabilities for its bug bounty program. It focuses on weaknesses that may threaten user data or the systems' security:
- Configuration and System Design Flaws: This vulnerability may expose data due to poor configuration or design.
- Unauthorized Access: Bugs that allow external parties to exploit user requests and access PCC improperly.
- Internal Interface Access Risks: Problems whereby access to the internal interface would endanger the system.

Bonus for Different Problem
Apples bonus will be granted based on how dangerous a security issue may be as well as by the possible impact the issue may be able to achieve:
- Request-Data Remote Attack: $1,000,000 (Rs. 8.3 Crore) up to code-execution via entitlements arbitration.
- Access to sensitive information beyond the trust boundaries: This would include vulnerabilities that enable the attacker to expose the data in the user request. It would get one the $250,000 in value, or about Rs 2.1 crore.
- Network position attack on the request data: The exploited privileged network access to view sensitive information can get someone $150,000 (about Rs 1.26 crore).
- Unattested code execution: Unauthorized code execution capability can earn one $100,000 (about Rs 84 lakh).
Apple has also recently unveiled iOS 18.1 for its iPhones, which offers enhancements for Siri in US English as well as the M4 iMac. Apple also maintains vigilance to better guard its technology and consumer information with even more breathtaking unveilings in the works.
