📰 Apple said it would pay between $50,000 and $1 million to hack into its Private Cloud Compute (PCC) servers, which are used to run Apple Intelligence.
Because PCC extends the industry-leading security and privacy of Apple devices into the cloud, the rewards we offer are comparable to those for iOS. We award maximum amounts for vulnerabilities that compromise user data and inference request data outside the PCC trust boundary.
👨💻 To allow other users to verify PCC, Apple has gone to the unusual step of opening up the source code of some of the PCC components that allow security and privacy checks.
🔧 Apple has also released a toolkit that allows you to test PCC security and simulate an attack right from your Mac for the first time. Virtual Research Environment is available on Macs with an Apple Silicon chip, 16GB of RAM and macOS Sequoia 15.1. It is already available in the latest developer beta.
