United Airlines has become the first company in the airline industry to launch a bug disclosure bounty program for third-party security researchers who flag vulnerabilities in its software. The airline will offer free miles to researchers who report bugs in the companys websites, customer-facing applications and online portals. The rewards range from 50,000 miles to 1 million miles, depending on the severity of the disclosed bug. The program follows a recent controversy where it banned a security researcher from one of its flights for tweets he made about his ability to manipulate airline equipment and aircraft systems.”]
