Yes! you are reading right, Facebook is now going to pay you money! over $400,000 just for hacking them to hunt down security bugs.
Before also, Facebook has offered many rewards to hackers and has even also hired some of high profile hackers. The company has already handed out over $400,000 in bounties thus far, with each minimum $500 and maximum $10,000 bounty reward for a critical vulnerability. According to a Facebook Security team member, "so we can hot fix something any time of the day. A bug fix could take an hour to fix for all of our users worldwide." On its earnings call yesterday, Facebook announced that it had nearly a billion monthly users. "We can turn around fixes so quickly, and that's something most companies aren't capable of doing. That minimizes the possibility of a bug getting exploited," he said.
The company wants to delicately respond to bugs like other large companies haven't done. Facebook hopes that by continually cultivating relationships with the web development and white hat hacking communities.
