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.

    Is that the case though. You can buy a copy of Kaspersky anti virus right now if you live in the US. They have a US office. You can legally send them money.

      Or put the money in escrow pending resolution of the embargo … This is, I think, the easiest, most responsible solution to show good faith

          Yes agreed… I was trying to point out that just not paying is a dick move

        Yeah thank you. There’s a ton of ways to “hold” the money legally so Apple can still be separated from some of its money.
