Hopefully this should lead to more exploits being reported to Apple instead of being sold to spyware companies as they’re now offering similar payouts to companies such as crowdfense.

I thought this was the most interesting
… wireless proximity exploits over any radio with up to $1 million.
To my knowledge this hasn’t been a widely exploited attack vector in the past but with various OSes implementing USB security features it’ll probably become more common.

Also now that they make their own wireless chips they are actually now able to fix those vulnerabilities themselves.

Absolutely. They brag a little about the supposed security of their new wireless chips in the article as well.

To be honest, I think this is a way for them to market themselves a little. They must be so confident in themselves to offer such high bounties.
