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.
