It comes at a time when tech giants are in an arms race with private marketplaces and governments offering major returns for unique hacks.
Google is also offering up to $1.5 million for exploits found on developer preview versions of Android. Rewards for successful hacks of those versions will be given a 50% bonus. Again, Apple announced something similar back in August. “Since [Android] Q was just released, we would be rolling this out on select developer preview builds for the next version of Android,” explained Jessica Lin from the Android security team.
The program goes live today. But anyone hoping their already submitted bugs are in line for increased rewards is out of luck: Google will only give out the bigger bounties for research disclosed from November 21 onwards.Major tech companies across the world are offering bigger payouts to those who can help them improve the security of their devices by hacking them. Google said it has handed out $1.5 million to researchers in the last 12 months.
