In April we announced a Mobile bonus reward program for researchers that submitted valid, non-duplicate mobile vulnerabilities for a chance to win $1000, and in early June we expanded the program to two bonuses. We are excited to announce our two winners, and congratulate putsi and robinooklay for their mobile submissions!
We got a great response with the bonus program and have new public bounty programs with mobile targets, so we’ve decided to run it again! The details are as follows:
- From July 1st through September 30th, 2016, every valid and non-duplicate mobile vulnerability submitted will be entered into a raffle to win one of two cash prizes, $1000 each.
- Each valid submission equals an additional entry into the contest, so if you’ve submitted five valid bugs you will have five entries to win $1000! (By submitting valid mobile vulnerabilities, you may also qualify to receive invitations to private mobile testing programs.
How to Get Started:
