Kaspersky reported one of the iOS vulnerabilities found in Operation Triangulation. However, in a bizarre update, Apple reportedly refused to pay the security bounty.
  • Kaspersky uncovered iOS vulnerabilities in ‘Operation Triangulation’, reported to Apple, but was refused bounty payment
  • Apple’s Security Bounty Program offers rewards up to $1 million for discovering vulnerabilities to prevent them from being sold on the dark web
  • Apple’s refusal to pay Kaspersky could be due to restrictions on financial transactions with companies in sanctioned countries like Russia.

    How is holding the money until (and if) the sanctions are lifted, “circumventing”?

    However unlikely it would be, if the sanctions are lifted (maybe Russia gets a new, sane Government, calls off its invasion, stops its international shenanigans), wouldn’t it be OK to pay this company then?
