Google will pay people who discover security vulnerabilities in its websites and online applications
Google has unveiled a new program to pay between $500 and $3,133 to people who discover security vulnerabilities in its websites and online applications.
"We hope our new program will attract new researchers and the types of reports that help make our users safer," members of Google's security team said in a group blog post.
The program follows the success of a more limited vulnerability reward project limited to Google's open-source Chromium browser, which resulted in a sustained increase in the exposure of vulnerabilities, the Google security team said.
The new initiative will apply to Google web properties such as Google.com and will cover "any serious bug which directly affects the confidentiality or integrity of user data," according to the announcement.
Google said a special panel would determine the level of reward which would be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
