Get paid to find bugs in Chrome, Firefox

Posted on | January 29, 2010 | 2 Comments

Google in its Chrome Blog has announced rewards to developers who discover and report the bugs to Google. This is in line with Mozilla’s Security Bug Bounty Program where you can earn US$ 500 for reporting a new bug in the latest version of FireFox , ThunderBird and other software.

Google’s cash reward like Mozilla’s starts from US$ 500 and can go up to US$ 1337.  You must be the first to report that bug. Depending upon the severity of the security hole, you will get a suitable reward.

However, in both Mozilla and Chrome, the bug must be in the core browser. Vulnerabilities due to third party software and OS will not be rewarded.

So, there you go; one more reasons to learn hacking.

The latest version of these software can be found here ->Mozilla and Chrome
