Apple Will Pay Security Researchers Up To $1 Million To Hack Its Private AI Cloud

(Friday October 25, 2024 @11:30PM (BeauHD) from the bug-bounty dept.)


An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch:

> Ahead of the debut of Apple's private AI cloud next week, dubbed Private Cloud Compute, the technology giant says it will [1]pay security researchers up to $1 million to find vulnerabilities that can compromise the security of its private AI cloud. In [2]a post on Apple's security blog, the company said it would pay up to the maximum $1 million bounty to anyone who reports exploits capable of remotely running malicious code on its Private Cloud Compute servers. Apple said it would also award researchers up to $250,000 for privately reporting exploits capable of extracting users' sensitive information or the prompts that customers submit to the company's private cloud.

>

> Apple said it would "consider any security issue that has a significant impact" outside of a published category, including up to $150,000 for exploits capable of accessing sensitive user information from a privileged network position. "We award maximum amounts for vulnerabilities that compromise user data and inference request data outside the [private cloud compute] trust boundary," Apple said.
