Hacking Apple for Profit
Five researchers hacked Apple Computer’s networks—not their products—and found fifty-five vulnerabilities. So far, they have received $289K.
One of the worst of all the bugs they found would have allowed criminals to create a worm that would automatically steal all the photos, videos, and documents from someone’s iCloud account and then do the same to the victim’s contacts.
Lots of details in this blog post by one of the hackers.

This brief note is missing a critical adjective:
s/received $289K/received a paltry $289K/
I would be much more interested to hear the researchers found fifty-SIX vulnerabilities, disclosed fifty-five to Apple and then asked them how much they wanted to pay for the last one.
