Google now offering rewards to users who report bugs, flaws

You'll never see Microsoft do this.

Amazing...they completely ignore bug reports relating everything else, yet they pay money to people that find security related bugs.

I wonder why android is exempted, I guess its because its open source?

No, because they never call android bugs critical, no matter how bad they are.

All you penetration testers had better run and hide...

I don't know of many pen-testers out of work that would do this, unless it was for charity or there were teenagers/college students. Either way good for google and those wishing to get their name out. MS used to do something like this 10 years ago but they kept it underground and it was when Gates was in charge. You'll never see Balmer give a shred of $, edited by ddp guy hates the sound of charity too.

The top reward is $3133.7 ---Chikn
