Android Bounty Program's Top Reward Jumps To $200,000

Google has quadrupled its top Android bug bounty to $200,000 in an effort to attract more security researchers to the program. The increase comes as a result of no researcher claiming the top reward in the program's history.

Researchers can earn that reward if they find a remote exploit chain or exploit resulting in a TrustZone or Verified Bot compromise.

Google has also upped the reward for a remote kernel exploit to $150,000 from just $30,000.

Over $1.5 million has already been paid out to researchers as part of the Android Security Rewards program.
