Chen Yuan is an employee of Apple China branch, and his position is responsible for reporting and reviewing vulnerabilities in the iOS operating system.

In Chen Yuan's opinion, the above really arranged a leisurely job for himself.

Yes, as the world's leading consumer electronics giant, Apple not only has strong hardware design capabilities, but also is definitely the best in software development.

The ios system is undoubtedly the best performance of Apple's software opening capabilities. Although it was born almost at the same time as Google's Android system, the ios system has almost outperformed the Android system in terms of performance and security, becoming the most popular mobile operating system in the world.

Of course, no product is perfect. Chen Yuan also knows that there are indeed loopholes in the iOS system. Therefore, in addition to the company's own team responsible for detecting loopholes in the iOS system, Apple has also launched its own vulnerability reporting reward to the public, like foreign Internet giants such as "Facebook" and "Google".

However, the strength of Chinese folk technology enthusiasts in vulnerability detection is not small compared to that of Europe and the United States.

Since the "White Knight Project" was also implemented in China in 2O15, there have been only forty or fifty ios system vulnerabilities reported and discovered by China so far, and most of them are just some strange small vulnerabilities that do not affect system stability.

In contrast, there are seven or eight high-risk loopholes reported abroad last year alone.

Therefore, Chen Yuan's work is no different from having a free meal. Except for being busy for a while when the department in charge of complaints reports a loophole and email, he often stays and plays some small games.

Now, Chen Yuan clicked chess for the third time today, and he wanted to try the chess score he just found online.

Although the company has a charter that it is strictly forbidden to play games during working hours, it is a simple game like a card or chess that comes with computers. When you are not busy, you usually open your eyes even if the supervisor sees it.

"I said you are all bored? Are you playing chess with computers every day, aren't you tired of it?"

Another employee in charge of reporting and reviewing ios system vulnerabilities is also staying on the side. He is also named Fu Chun.

Because the company often fails to receive a report of a loophole for ten days and half a month, the Chinese branch only arranges two of them to reviewers.

Now it seems that there are actually more than two people!

Chen Yuan gave him a blank look, "It's better than stealing a movie than you. Be careful of being caught and being scolded again?"

Fu Chun smiled and said, "The 100 Gigabit optical fiber in the office is much better than the 4 Gigabit ones in my house. Anyway, I'm idle. It's better to let me finish a few movies and watch them in the evening!"

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes, but he played the small game that was built by the system and couldn't use the Internet at all, so he just thought he didn't see it. Who made them two brothers in distress? This is boring every day.

Just clicked on the chessboard, because it was the red side, Chen Yuan was about to take a step first and try out what a stunning method he saw in the so-called Ming Dynasty ruins.

Suddenly, he saw a work processing prompt pop up from the official website backend maintenance software on the right side of his computer.

Chen Yuan was stunned, and soon he realized that it was a loophole report email transferred by the complaint department.

I suddenly felt enlightened, "Oh, it seems that there is a loophole reporting. Do you want to review or I will review?"

"You can take a look first, and confirm that it is a real loophole before reporting it."

Fu Chun also saw it, but his computer was secretly playing the movie, so he said without looking back.

Chen Yuan nodded and directly scored the chess game that had not been long before. He immediately clicked on the bug report email and hurriedly scanned it. Chen Yuan's brow jumped, "There are 17 loopholes in the ios system, and there are more in his hands. I really dare to say it!"

"puff!"

Fu Chun laughed immediately after hearing this, and couldn't help but get up and come over and jokingly said, "Is it true? Come on, let me see who is so capable..."

He hadn't seen the information of the reporter yet, but Chen Yuan, who was quick to do so, had already downloaded the folder attached to the email and clicked on it.

Fu Chun then put his head closer, and followed Chen Yuan to look at a detailed analysis of the loophole he clicked and his expression changed slightly.

"Use the search function to see deleted text messages... Well, this vulnerability does exist..."

Apple has its own system vulnerability detection team, but when some vulnerabilities in the current new version have been reported, they will choose to be silent and not repaired quietly in the next version. After all, Apple will not be so stupid as to slap itself in the face.

However, for convenience, Apple will regularly update some newly emerging vulnerabilities to technicians who are responsible for this area for maintenance by its own technical team.

Unfortunately, Fu Chun just happened to remember such a newly identified loophole at the US headquarters.

Chen Yuan nodded as an answer, and he did know that there was such a loophole that had been discovered.

The two of them became serious immediately, and finished reading one by one, frowning at the same time.

"There are five vulnerabilities that have been detected at the headquarters. These reports are correct. Although the rest cannot be confirmed yet, but by analogy, the probability of being correct is still very high..."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he bent down and took out several Apple phones and detection devices specially used for inspection from the drawer under the desk and placed them on the desktop.

Without him giving any more instructions, Fu Chun turned off his computer and came over to help.

The two of them checked and tested it for a while, and finally confirmed that the loopholes were all true, Chen Yuan was in a daze for a moment, and saw him immediately took out a USB flash drive from the drawer, sorted out the report and detection records, and copied it to the USB flash drive.

After finishing, he stood up and said to Fu Chun, "I'll go to the copy room to print the documents. Fu Chun, you go and call the supervisor first."

Fu Chun nodded with a serious face, and so many loopholes were reported at once, and all of them were proven to be authentic.

I'm afraid that their supervisor would come, and he would sweat a coldly and continue to report the situation to the higher level.

If the other party really has more loopholes in the iOS system, then in the end, it may not be the only Chinese branch that will send an executive to contact the other party in person. Maybe the head office may also send someone from the United States to take charge of the matter personally.

However, these have nothing to do with them anymore.

"When did China produce such a great technical expert?"

Before leaving, Fu Chun couldn't help but look back at the information about the whistleblower left in the reporting document on the computer screen.

"Cybertron Studios? Testing Agency?"

With some doubts, Fu Chun shook his head and followed Chen Yuan and left the office, and walked towards the supervisor's office.

ps:

1. I opened a small dark room and couldn't get out in the afternoon.
