The point is apple is likely to only aim for researchers for this program as the hackers could just resell most 0days, letting apple know about a small fraction to maintain reputation. It would make sense for apple to not allow hackers access to the program for this reason.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoI’m using researchers and hackers interchangeably here. It isn’t intended for academics or companies affiliated with Apple, that’s for sure.
- azernik 7y agoIn this context, "security researchers" is just the preferred job title that white-hat hackers put on their business cards. The ones who go for bug bounties are generally not paid by universities or large corporations to do that work.
