Google To Pay $500 For Bugs Found In Chromium
Trailrunner7 writes to mention that a new program from Google could pay security researchers $500 for every security bug found in Chromium. Of course if you find a particularly clever bug you could be eligible for a $1337 reward. "Today, we are introducing an experimental new incentive for external researchers to participate. We will be rewarding select interesting and original vulnerabilities reported to us by the security research community. For existing contributors to Chromium security — who would likely continue to contribute regardless — this may be seen as a token of our appreciation. In addition, we are hoping that the introduction of this program will encourage new individuals to participate in Chromium security. The more people involved in scrutinizing Chromium's code and behavior, the more secure our millions of users will be. Such a concept is not new; we'd like to give serious kudos to the folks at Mozilla for their long-running and successful vulnerability reward program."
You've got it backwards. She was providing context, not removing it. The original full quote was:
"We will typically focus on High and Critical impact bugs, but any clever vulnerability at any severity might get a reward."
Amazing how the mods will go with the GP's (incorrect) take on things rather than take the 800 milliseconds necessary to see for themselves that it was not a "Troll" post, as it is currently modded. Carelessness 1, High-quality Moderation 0. Shocking, I tell you, shocking.
