Microsoft has launched a bug-bounty program specifically aimed at its ElectionGuard product. Researchers can earn up to $15,000, depending on the severity of the bug found. Microsoft paid $4.4 million in bounty rewards between July 1, 2018 and June 30 across 11 bounty programs, with a top award of $200,000. The program is one prong of the company s wider Defending Democracy program, under which Microsoft has pledged to protect campaigns from hacking.
