    Apple is Paying $1 Million if You Can Hack into its Servers

    Tech giant Apple has announced a new security research challenge
    for hackers with the main aim being the company protecting its
    Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers. The company has announced
    that if you are successful in hacking Apple’s PCC servers, you
    could earn up to $1 million.

    . . .

      I expect the first winners within maybe 48 hours.

      After that Apple will suddenly withdraw the 'reward'
      offer  :-)

      Long back, a company was selling supposedly copy-proof
      floppy disks. Philippe Khan (Turbo Pascal and first-
      known guy to pgm phone to send pix) offered a reward
      to anybody who COULD copy the things. "Copy-proof"
      lasted about two days ... and then ......

      Well, let's say that company went out of biz rather
      abruptly  :-)


    I foresee a bunch of people getting the lower tier bounties pretty
    quickly (if they haven't already). A lot of those are direct human error
    items and we all know humans suck at being perfect.

    The $1m being ACE over arbitrary entitlements.. If Apple did very good
    at their code this one might not find a winner, at least for a while.
    Someone will eventually find a way in but it'll takes time I bet. The
    user request data outside trust boundary will be more likely to find a
    winner in a week or two. We'll just have to wait and see.
