MacRumors reports that Apple has limited the number of vulnerabilities security researchers can submit to its bug bounty program due to an increase in reports containing fake bugs created by AI, according to The Financial Times.
If Apple is throttling submissions to filter AI-generated noise, expect other platforms and bounty programs to add similar rate limits or reputation gating, which raises the bar for legitimate researchers reporting real issues. For anyone running or relying on responsible-disclosure channels, it's worth checking whether your own intake can distinguish credible reports from plausible-sounding LLM output before volume becomes a problem. The broader signal is that AI slop is now a real cost center for triage teams, not just a spam nuisance.
