Google paid out $6.5 million in bug-bounty rewards in 2019, doubling its previous annual total. The internet giant also highlighted bonuses that are now in effect for Chrome and Android. Google said it donated $500,000 to charity during the year, which it said also sets a high-water mark that total is five times the previous record for charitable giving. In 2019, Google tripled reward payouts for security flaws in Chrome from $5,000 – and doubled the maximum reward amount for high-quality reports.
