Plus: A duplicitous bug bounty scheme, the iPhone's new “lockdown mode,” and more of the week's top security news.
FBI director Christopher Wray and the chief of the UK's security agency MI5, Ken McCallum, issued a joint warning this week that China is, as Wray put it, the "biggest long-term threat to our economic and national security." The pair noted that China has conducted extensive espionage around the world and interfered in elections and other political proceedings.
HackerOne uncovered the scheme when one customer company flagged a vulnerability disclosure that was suspiciously similar to one it had received in June from a different researcher. The rogue employee, who was new to the company, had access to HackerOne's platform from April 4 until June 23 and made seven vulnerability disclosures using stolen research. “This is a clear violation of our values, our culture, our policies, and our employment contracts,” HackerOne wrote in an incident report.
