Google ups cash reward for being hacked

JMH · Apr 24, 2012

Many of the Web giant's products are susceptible to attacks -- that's why the Web giant says it will now pay up to $20,000 for anyone to find "qualifying vulnerabilities."

They already have given out almost $500,000 so far.

In the long run paying out $500k+ for the security of it's users is nothing...

Imagine all the issues and financial problems that could be caused if browsers sent out sensitive information...

Anyone who had used an online shop would be in danger...

I personally am glad to see google take the initiative and fix it's vulnerabilities before they come up in the wild.
