More Than 10% of Mozilla Bug Finders Refuse Cash

Posted by Soulskill on from the never-underestimate-the-power-of-free-swag dept.

angry tapir writes "The open-source Mozilla project has been offering cash bounties for security bugs for six years now, but often bug finders simply turn down the cash. Between 10 percent and 15 percent of the serious security bugs reported since Mozilla launched its bug bounty program have been provided free of charge, according to Mozilla."

    In the context of "here have some cash", 15% is pretty often.

    Y'know if they wanted to refuse the cash... instead of letting Mozilla keep it, have them donate it to the charity of my choice. Just sayin'.
