Mozilla is giving a raise to security researchers who spot Firefox browser vulnerabilities, more than doubling its maximum reward for information on the most high-risk flaws.
The change comes as many major companies have launched lucrative bug bounty programs, which benefit software developers by attracting a more diverse set of eyes on their code.
“The amount awarded was increased to $3,000 five years ago, and it is definitely time for this to be increased again,”
wrote Raymond Forbes, an application security engineer at Mozilla.
