Apple Paid $75K For Bugs Letting Sites Hijack iPhone Cameras

Apple has paid a $75,000 bug bounty to a security researcher who chained together three different exploits that could have allowed malicious web sites to use your iPhone camera and microphone without permission. Ryan Pickren discovered seven zero-day vulnerabilities in iOS 13.4 and Safari 13.1. The vulnerabilities have already been fixed by Apple in iOS 12.2 and 13.3.4. The researcher was eventually able to make Safari think it was on Skype.com even though it was not.com.
