Microsoft is preparing to reward hunters faults. The publisher will launch a program next week hunting vulnerability particularly well endowed. Each method to bypass the protections built into the latest version of its operating system (Windows 8.1 Preview) will be awarded the first prize to $ 100,000. And if the author simultaneously offers an original laser designator method of protection against his attack, he will pocket up to $ 50,000 extra.
The program also offers prizes up to $ 11,000 for the discovery of vulnerabilities in the current version of Internet Explorer 11 Preview (on the strength of all browsers perfectly justified this lower reward compared laser designator to the other two). Beware though: unlike the competition for Windows, which should be permanent, laser designator it will only last thirty days.
Compared to similar laser designator programs offered by Mozilla, Google and Facebook generally pay a few hundred dollars a bug, and up to several tens of thousands for exceptional faults (saw payments from $ 20,000 to $ 60,000). With its offer to $ 150,000 so Microsoft sets a high bar.
