Security researchers can make a lot of money by reporting bugs to software and hardware vendors. Microsoft, for instance, pays up to $15,000 for vulnerabilities in Office Insider , while Intel, through its first bug bounty program, takes things up a notch with a top reward of $30,000.
Intel’s first bug bounty program was announced on HackerOne, and targets firmware, software and hardware products. Hardware vulnerabilities have the highest top reward, followed by firmware and then software.
A critical vulnerability in an Intel hardware product gets up to $30,000, while one ranked as high, medium or low is eligible for a reward of up to $10,000, $2,000, or $1,000, respectively.
As far as firmware vulnerabilities go, a critical one is eligible for a reward of up to $10,000.
