Google patched 16 vulnerabilities in Chrome on Thursday, paying one researcher a record $3,133 for reporting a single bug. The flaws fixed in Chrome 8.0.552.334 were in several components, including the browser’s built-in PDF viewer and CSS processing. Last July, Google raised its top dollar payout from $1,337 to $3.133, making the move less than a week after rival Mozilla boosted Firefox bug bounties. The company usually opens access to a flaw later — sometimes within weeks, often only after months — to give users time to update.”]
