An-Najah News - Nablus - The American company Apple granted a hacker a reward of 75 thousand dollars, after he was able to discover a vulnerability that enabled him to access the iPhone phone and Mac computers cameras.

Security researcher and a former official at the "Amazon" company, Ryan Beckeren, said that the hacker found 7 weaknesses in the browser "Safari", which is adopted by Apple in its devices, according to "Forbes" magazine.

He explained that three of these points can be used to control the camera, record photos and videos you have taken on iPhone phones and computers and eavesdrop on their owners.

The hack only needs the owner of the phone (the victim) to visit a malicious website, so that those responsible for this site can then access the Apple device's camera, especially if it contains video calls applications, such as "Zoom", which is currently facing complaints about violations of privacy.

Bikrin noted that vulnerability like this confirms that users should not trust that their device's cameras are safe, regardless of operating system or device manufacturer.

He said that he informed Apple of these security vulnerabilities in mid-December 2019, noting that "Apple" has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities, so that after a few weeks, they will fix them.

The hacker stated that he received $ 75,000 from Apple for the information he provided.
