United Airlines’ bug bounty program awarded a 19-year-old security researcher one million airmiles for his discovery of multiple vulnerabilities. Olivier Beg flew from his home in Ansterdam to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he attended several information security conferences in the beginning of August. He received around 250,000 airmile for the most severe security issue he encountered. Similar tech industry reward money has been created in Apple’s own program, which pays out a maximum of USD 200,000 for bugs found in its firmware.
