Kaspersky uncovered iOS vulnerabilities in 'Operation Triangulation', reported to Apple, but was refused bounty payment
Apple's Security Bounty Program offers rewards up to $1 million for discovering vulnerabilities to prevent them from being sold on the dark web
Apple's refusal to pay Kaspersky could be due to restrictions on financial transactions with companies in sanctioned countries like Russia.

but also why embargos work

Ah yes Iran is falling due to lack of forks. \s

I'm pretty sure the politicians and rich people in Iran are fine. Embargos "work" (if at all) by violently punishing the poor.

Now if Kaspersky spent time undermining it’s own failure of a government, and putting an end to its dictatorship

Do you ask the same of american corporations?

They were told to fork off (I'll see myself out).

Iran's President sure was falling due to a lack of helicopter parts

If goverment can be disrupted by hack, the faster that happen the better. Then they maybe learn to have better security.
