Mozilla has increased the bounty paid for critical security bugs in its software to $3,000. Google has upped the ante, saying that it will now pay $3133.70 for the most severe bugs researchers find in Chromium. The increased reward reflects the fact that the company s sandbox makes it harder to find bugs of this severity, Chris Evans, a Google security researcher, said in a blog post. The sudden change in the price paid for bugs by both Mozilla and Google can be seen as a consequence of the stance taken by some researchers who have said they re no longer interested in doing the software vendors security work for them without any monetary reward.
