Many companies offer what are known as “bug bounties,” where they pay people to find and report potential security flaws.

For small companies or minor issues, these bug bounties can amount to a few thousand dollars per bug. However, larger companies with more widely used products may offer higher payouts to anyone who can find a way to break into them.

Case in point: Apple and its iPhone. The company recently announced that it would be paying a *lot* of money to anyone who can detect certain bugs in its iPhone software. Figure out how to access a locked device? That could net you a payday of as much as $500k. Find an exploit that allows someone to gain access to the phone in a single click? That’s worth up to $1 million.

That said, the company’s biggest bounty is for a zero-click flaw, where the phone can be accessed without the user clicking anything. People finding those bugs can expect a payday of up to $2 million.

So, hackers, get to work!
