IT House news on May 4th, Google has recently expanded the BUG bounty program for Android 13 Beta vulnerabilities offer bounties of up to $1.5 million (approximately 9.945 million yuan). last week,Android The 13 Beta is open to developers and early adaptors, and Google promises that the new version will focus on privacy and security issues.
in particular,There is a $1.5 million bounty for breaching the Titan M security chip on a Pixel phone running the Android 13 Beta.
Google also announced on Twitter that all discoveriesandroid 13 beta bugs are given a 50% bounty, while adding an important note: “The bug must beAndroid 13 System-exclusive and not reproducible on any other version of Android. “Additionally, the increased reward will only apply to reports submitted before May 27.
Notably, the $1.5 million is significantly more than the highest-ever Android bug bounty paid last year, when a critical vulnerability chain in an unspecified component received a $157,000 bounty. The $1.5 million is also half of the entire 2021 Android bug bounty total ($3 million in total, covering hundreds of bugs), and roughly equals the 2020 payout total.
In 2019, Google began offering $1 million to anyone who could hack into the Titan M security chip, which is embedded in Google’s Pixel smartphones. But so far, no one has claimed this reward. So, to get $1.5 million in prize money, you can imagine the difficulty.
