Google has launched a bug-bounty program aimed at identifying data-abuse issues in Android apps and Chrome extensions. The Developer Data Protection Reward Program could net as much as $50,000 for a single report. It’s meant to stomp out apps that violate Google Play, Google API and Google Chrome Web Store privacy policies. The launch comes after several instances in the past year surfaced where apps were found abusing user data. Google is increasing the scope of the program to include all apps in Google Play that have 100 million or more installs.
