Indian developer earns Rs 75 lakh for finding ‘Sign in with Apple’ bug

New Delhi: A 27-year-old Indian security researcher Bhavuk Jain has grabbed $100,000 (over Rs 75.5 lakh) from Apple for discovering a now-patched Zero Day vulnerability in the Sign in with Apple account authentication.

The Zero Day vulnerability could have allowed a hacker to break into an Apple user’s account who log into third-party apps like like Dropbox, Spotify, Airbnb and Giphy (now acquired by Facebook) and more.

Jain who holds a bachelor’s degree in electronics and communication discovered Zero Day bug in ‘Sign in with Apple’ that affected third-party applications which were using it, and didn’t implement their own additional security measures.
