jrepin writes "Google is offering rewards as high as $3,133.70 for software updates that improve the security of OpenSSL, OpenSSH, BIND, and several other open-source packages that are critical to the stability of the Internet. The program announced Wednesday expands on Google's current bug-bounty program, which pays from $500 to $3,133.70 to people who privately report bugs found in the company's software and Web properties." Google isn't the only company that sees the value in rewarding those who find security problems: Microsoft just paid British hacker James Forshaw $100,000 for finding a serious security flaw in Windows 8.1. http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Google+Offers+Cash+For+Security+Fixes+ To+Linux+and+Other+FOSS+Projects%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fb it.ly%2F18RWUSV) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F10%2F10%2F1445243%2Fgoogle-offers-cash-for-security-fixes-to-linux-and-other-foss-projects%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfa cebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://linux.slashdot.org/story/13/10/10/1445243/google-offers-cash-for-security-fixes-to-linux-and-other-foss-projects?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
