I'm looking forward to Google giving out a $100 reward or even nothing to the researcher.
Like they did to the guy who found the sitemap ranking bug in Google Search where he was able to let others pay for a first page ranking. He only got $1,337 and it took Google 6 months to fix it.
- um_ya 8y agoThere should be another website where people bid on the bug. If Google cares enough about it, they'll out bid the people that want to exploit it.
- jtbayly 8y agoLol. A market for vulnerabilities? Pretty sure these exist already. ;)
- _pdp_ 8y agoThis is a pretty clever idea. :) cuz you know Google makes money from ad bidding.
- politician 8y ago...and ought to store the current bids as search results on Google.
- TomAnthony 8y agoThat was me. Google later upgraded the bounty to $5000. :) Article for those interested: http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-xml-sitemap-auth-bypass-black-hat-seo-bug-bounty/ http://www.tomanthony.co.uk/blog/google-xml-sitemap-auth-byp...
