19-year-old researcher Olivier Beg has been rewarded with one million airmiles by United Airlines. He has found 20 security holes in the airline’s software and has also found vulnerabilities in Yahoo, Google and Facebook software. The airline introduced a bug bounty scheme last year to encourage bug hunters to disclose their findings to the airline rather than publish them on the net. The most serious bug found by Olivier Beg earned him 250,000 airmile. He claims to have also found flaws in software from Google, Yahoo and Facebook.”]
