Apple also tells The Verge that it’s compensating the Thompson family for discovering the vulnerability, and providing an additional gift to fund Grant Thompson’s tuition. Apple hasn’t revealed exactly how much it’s paying the Thompson family.
In the past, Apple has sometimes paid “up to $200,000 to security researchers who discover vulnerabilities and report them.”
