• Google Paying $500 a Bug
Image via Wikipedia
Chinese General Sun Tzu, the ancient military strategist credited with authoring The Art of War, once said “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” Apparently Google took note. They’re inviting you to hack their system. That’s right, they’ll even pay you for your skulduggery. And yup, you can do it in your underwear!
All you have to do is find a security bug in Google Chromium (a.k.a. Google Chrome) and be the first to report it. An interesting vulnerability will earn you $500 and one that could be particularly embarrassing for them pays out $1,337.
It would seem that Sun Tzu has many modern followers. Consider this quote: “A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.” Maybe all that ineffective, incompetence we see around us is just a clever deception!
