Apple Offers Up to $1 Million for Hacking Its AI Cloud

The tech giant launches a bug bounty program to test the security of its Private Cloud Compute system ahead of its AI service rollout.

Apple's Private Cloud Compute (PCC) system will handle complex AI tasks for its upcoming Apple Intelligence service, ensuring data privacy and security.
The bug bounty program offers rewards from $50,000 to $1 million for discovering vulnerabilities in the PCC, with the highest payout for remote code execution exploits.
Apple has made the PCC's security architecture and source code publicly available for analysis, inviting researchers to verify its security claims.
The initiative aims to bolster trust in Apple's privacy and security measures by allowing independent verification of its cloud AI system.
Apple Intelligence features, including enhanced Siri capabilities, are set to launch with iOS 18.1, utilizing both on-device and cloud processing.
