Apple offers $1 million bounty for hackers to test security of intelligence servers

Apple has launched a bug bounty program offering up to $1 million for anyone who can successfully hack its Apple Intelligence servers. This initiative aims to test the security of the servers before the service's official launch next week. The program invites hackers and security experts to identify vulnerabilities in the Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers, which will handle data processing for the new AI service. Apple has also opened its servers for inspection and provided a security guide detailing its data-handling protocols. The bounty focuses on three main areas: accidental data disclosure, unauthorized access from user requests, and internal access breaches. Apple will also consider rewards for any significant security issues, regardless of category.
