Let’s Dig into the Robust Bug Bounty Program Developed by Google

In the bug bounty program, Google has applauded the efforts of an Indian techie for reporting vulnerabilities in Android

A bug bounty is a serious business in most parts of the world, yet somehow Indian companies have a strange policy to such actions. Some also file complaints against ethical hackers, instead of rewarding them for their effort. 

Google has applauded the efforts of an Indian techie for reporting and submitting vulnerabilities in Android, making the operating system safe for all users. In a blog post on Monday, Google revealed that Aman Pandey of Bugsmirror was regarded as the top-most researcher in terms of reporting and submitting vulnerabilities. 

Google has developed a robust bug bounty program over the years, and the latest report is a testament to the work being done behind the scenes to improve the security of the Android ecosystem. India strives to be a major hub for its operations, with many small researchers like Pandey setting up shop after doing their engineering course, and helping global brands solve major issues remotely.

Google also launched the bughunters.google.com website last year, a special portal to keeping Google products and the internet safe and secure. It brings all the Google's Vulnerability Reward Programs at one place such as Google, Android, Abuse, Chrome, and Google Play, and makes security bug submission easier than ever. 

The Chrome Extension Bug

Sometimes, Google Chrome will stop loading extensions without much of a warning. This might happen for all extensions or just some. If it's all extensions, the issue is caused by Chrome. But if a single extension stops loading, there might be a conflict. On this chrome browser, Google's bug bounty program saw a total of US$3,288,000 (approximately INR 24.6 crores) being given to 115 researchers. Of the total amount, US$3.1 million was awarded for Chrome browser vulnerabilities and US$250,000 for Chrome OS vulnerabilities.
