A large bug bounty program has been revealed by Microsoft and it'll offer up to $250,000 for high-level bugs in Windows 10. The new "Windows Bounty Program" will give the most to those who track down severe Hyper-V vulnerabilities. Lower-level issues, like security bugs in preview builds or Microsoft Edge, can earn people $15,000.
Security is always changing and we prioritize different types of vulnerabilities at different points in time. Microsoft strongly believes in the value of the bug bounties, and we trust that it serves to enhance our security capabilities.- Microsoft
The company has used bug bounties to improve its security before. It paid out over $100,000 for Windows 8.1 bugs.
