Apple doubled its biggest bug bounty reward, Chinese regulators are investigating Qualcomm, and a 65-year old computer was programmed to play Boards of Canada's 'Olson'

-Apple is updating its Security Bounty program this November to offer some of the highest rewards in the industry. It has doubled its top award from $1 million to $2 million for the discovery of "exploit chains that can achieve similar goals as sophisticated mercenary spyware attacks" and which requires no user interaction.
