You can really get rich by finding bugs. A security expert could tell you about it Jack Dates, who managed to uncover a security flaw in the Pwn20wn 2021 security summit Safari, through which it was supposed to be possible to control the entire Mac. For his discovery, Dates earned a respectable $100 from the event organizers, or about CZK 000. 

Although the rewards for finding a bug in operating systems or software are nothing exceptional, the truth is that in the case of a bug discovered within Pwn20wn 2021, its discoverer can talk about luck. Apparently, he was the very first person in the world to come across it, because according to the subsequent security analysis, it does not seem that it was used in any way for a hacker attack. Apple of course, he also had no idea about it, which is why the error fell among the so-called Zero Days, for which the most money is usually paid due to their danger. After all, considering how it was possible to use the one discovered by Dates, it is probably not too surprising. Whether there was a bug Applem already repaired or still waiting for repair is unfortunately unclear at the moment. However, more detailed information about it is not available due to an effort to eliminate possible risks associated with it.
