Apple refused to pay bounty to Kaspersky for uncovering vulnerability part of ‘Operation Triangulation’
Basically because kaspersky is Russia based and paying them would violate USA sanctions.
What do you think?

I can understand withholding payment due to embargo.. surely Apple could promise to hold funds until embargo lifts, if it ever does? That seems like a better way to maintain good will with the security firm.

Operation Triangulation is one of the most sophisticated attack chains ever, such a advanced shit, 3 kernel exploits, and browser exploit. Holy, lol

Kaspersky was good to the US, even offered its source code to check no russian connection with its US base but these fuckers didn't listen. They keep stabbing companies over russia or iran links as if these 2 countries are not on earth.

What will you expect from that company

Reminds me of what happens to people that do violate it. Bobby Fischer they tried to punish due to violating embargo.

Another reason why Apple sucks.

Looks like the only bug they managed to fix is the one in their payment system! Sanctions are stronger than any cyber attack! ?
