I don't understand why Apple doesn't have a well-funded bug bounty program. You would think that companies would welcome people finding bugs in their software.

I agree. Considering that giving away a dev style laptop would be a nice reward, it’s weird that they do not leverage their products as reward. High spec MBP + some cash goes a long way. Even engrave the freaking laptop to make it “sough after”.

They do have a well-funded and well-publicized bounty program for security exploits.

  Would you agree that if it were really well known and earned a fair amount to hackers people would not end up throwing this stuff online (even on Twitter) because their PR team is the only one that gets affected in these cases?
