One good application that comes to mind in this case would be the Google Chrome bug bounty program.

  The writer of this exploit was almost certainly paid more than the bug bounty reward.

    Agreed, exploits on the deep Web pay 10x what the big bounty programs do, the mismatch is laughable
  • jasonlfunk 7y ago
    Yeah, that’s a hard thing. Because the exploit is almost certainly worth more to the buyer than having it fixed is worth to Google.

      > having it fixed is worth to Google For now, I hope. Google can and should pay equivalent amounts.

    Sure. I'm not saying that the moral way is just as profitable as the alternative; only that it exists.
