Apple

Why it worked

The video taps into the intrigue and high stakes of cybersecurity by discussing a massive bounty offered by a major tech company like Apple for hacking an iPhone, combined with the allure of 'zero-click exploits' which sound highly sophisticated and impactful.

Summary

The speaker discusses how Apple will pay a million-dollar bounty for a zero-click exploit on an iPhone. He explains that such exploits can be sent without user interaction and grant full access to the phone. He mentions receiving a $128,000 credit on a platform for a vulnerability, which he chose over cash.

Product placement

Apple: (a) it ACTS - the video discusses how to get money from Apple for hacking an iPhone. Removing it would change the topic. (b) it merely APPEARS - a logo is not visible. Apple is the subject of the discussion. iPhone: (a) it ACTS - the video discusses hacking an iPhone. Removing it would change the topic. iPhone is the subject of the discussion. The Shawn Ryan Show: (b) it merely APPEARS - it is a watermark/channel logo. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Transcript

Apple for example, if you were able to take over an iPhone, they'll pay you $million like that. They'll pay you $million dollars for something like that. They call it zero click exploit, meaning I can send you something that you won't even know that I have to your phone and I have full access to your phone. Million dollar bounty. What's the biggest bounty you've collected? What was it for? I can't tell you what it was for. There's disclosures and there's non-disclosures. I can't disclose the company or what the vulnerability was, but it was $128,000 in credit on a platform. I chose that over the cash. How many bounties have you collected? My team, hundreds. Yeah. Hundreds. That isn't what I focus on anymore.
