Kaspersky reported one of the iOS vulnerabilities found in Operation Triangulation. However, in a bizarre update, Apple reportedly refused to pay the security bounty.
  • Kaspersky uncovered iOS vulnerabilities in ‘Operation Triangulation’, reported to Apple, but was refused bounty payment
  • Apple’s Security Bounty Program offers rewards up to $1 million for discovering vulnerabilities to prevent them from being sold on the dark web
  • Apple’s refusal to pay Kaspersky could be due to restrictions on financial transactions with companies in sanctioned countries like Russia.

    Also, you seem to be putting the actions of Putin (and the consequences of allowing him to get the country to this state) on to Europe and NATO. The fact is that these sanctions would not be in place if Putin didn’t invade a neighboring country for illegal annexation (specifically, Russia violated United Nations Charter Article 2, paragraph 4).

    I’m sorry to tell you that mass protests aren’t enough. As long as the Russian people are complicit (for example, by continuing to contribute to war efforts at their oil refinery jobs) and continue to allow Putin to govern, they will suffer.

      I’m definitely putting it on Europe and NATO to act like some protector of democracy and then confirm Putin’s “elections” while there were widespread protests ongoing, and now when that criminal unelected regime they criminally supported invades another country, to blame people who’ve done their part to prevent it.

      No, victims are not complicit in crimes even if being exploited to help those. You should be sorry for being a cheat.

      Also I still expect your justification or apology for western governments which confirmed Putin’s “elections”. Until then any word of a westerner on this matter is worth less than a bowl of piss.

        Only the Russian people can fix the elections. NATO and the EU have nothing to do with that, so I’m not sure why you’re blaming them for “confirming” it when the only people that “confirmed” it were the Russian people who rolled over for yet another false election.

        So you are owed no apology from NATO, and I certainly don’t owe you one.
