Apple Caps Bug Bounty Submissions After AI Surge

Industry news•

What happened

Apple has temporarily capped bug bounty submissions after receiving a surge in entries from AI-powered tools.

The move is likely a response to the increasing use of AI in bug hunting, which has made it easier for researchers to find vulnerabilities.

Why it matters

The surge in AI-powered bug hunting tools highlights the growing importance of AI in the security industry, and may lead to a shift in how companies approach bug bounty programs and security research.
