Ian Beer is a British computer security expert and white hat hacker, currently residing in Switzerland and working for Google as part of its Project Zero.[1] He has been lauded by some as one of the best iOS hackers.[2] Beer was the first security expert to publish his findings under the "Project Zero" name in the spring of 2014;[3] at this time, the project was not yet revealed and crediting the newly discovered vulnerabilities to it led to some speculation.[1]
He is known for discovering a large number of security vulnerabilities in Apple products, including iOS,[1] Safari[3] and macOS,[4] as well as helping create jailbreaks for iOS versions.[5][6] One such discovery forced Apple to rewrite significant parts of the macOS and iOS kernel.[7] Beer is also a vocal critic of Apple concerning its bug bounty program for iOS announced in 2016.[8][9] The invite only program has been accused of low payouts.[8] Beer has also criticized the company for not disclosing to its users why updates that fix the bugs should be installed.[10]
