Oh so what happens if I hack apple without them hiring me but give back the data i hacked back to them for a fee.
Would that be considered as ethical hacking?
No that is a crime in most areas.
It is also called ransomware.
what if you accidentally encounter a vulnerability (say you're an expert hacker). If you report that, they decide whether to reward you or not because they didn't employ you?
