Google Will Now Pay Anyone Who Reports Apps Abusing Users’ Data

Google today expanded its bug bounty program to beef up the security of Android apps and Chrome extensions distributed through its platform. Google will reward security researchers and hackers who find “verifiably and unambiguous evidence” of data abuse issues in Android apps, Chrome extensions, and OAuth projects. The program aims to avoid scandals like Cambridge Analytica that hit Facebook with $5 billion in fines for failing to identify situations where user data is being used or sold unexpectedly or repurposed illegitimately without user consent.
