Among the five categories, the greatest reward is for those who able to discover flaws in a program that prevents the release of unauthorized programs when the iPhone is turned on. Whoever stick to safety Apple takes home $ 200,000 (about 180,000 euros).
Apple, however, was advised to keep the limited program, with invitations to be extended only to some researchers and not open in general.
This type of rewards program is used by dozens of companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Tesla or Yahoo.

But the leader of the rewards is Facebook, which has already paid more than four million (EUR 3.6 million) in the last five years. Already this year paid $ 10,000 (nine thousand euros) a 10-year-old from Finland who discovered how to delete comments Instagram accounts of users.
