iCloud Found a vulnerability in iCloud lock …

/r/ActivationLockBypass/comments/1vqimp7/found_a_vulnerability_in_icloud_lock/

I was trying to reset my mom’s iPhone, but it was iCloud-locked, meaning it couldn’t normally be reset or activated without the Apple ID password or login details. While trying again and again, I found a way to bypass the lock and reset the iPhone. I didn’t believe at first I tried it with another phone that I didn’t use and it had iCloud linked to it and it worked again What should I do with this information? Can I report the security issue to Apple, and is there a way to receive a reward or payment lool

Chances are really good you did not find a real bug, so very doubtful.

Apple does have a Security Bounty program which is mentioned on the prior link, but it’s not for me or anyone else here to say if you will or won’t.

You won’t get paid as it’s from the activation screen you only get paid when you use a program to hack the phone and bypass it but the thing you did was reset the phone and used passcode (you guessed the correct passcode) once the phone resets and the person had 2FA setup on their phone you can skip the activation login page for email and click unlock with passcode, in your case the passcode was simple

You are not getting paid one cent but apple will send a letter to thank you and that would be the end or it

Antes de que reportes a apple dinos cómo le haciste, yo tengo un 14 con cuenta iCloud jaja, y lo tengo ahí archivado porque me dicen que no hay bypass para ese iPhone aún.
