Google Bug Hunter Urges Apple to Change its iOS Security Culture

secwatcher writes: Prolific Google bug hunter Ian Beer ripped into Apple on Wednesday, urging the iPhone maker to change its culture when it comes to iOS security. He said the company suffers from an all-too-common affliction of patching an iOS bug, but not fixing the systemic roots that contribute to the vulnerability.
In a provocative call to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, Beer directly challenged him to donate $2.5 million to Amnesty International – roughly the equivalence of bug bounty earnings for Beer’s 30-plus discovered iOS vulnerabilities.
