Google Adds Research Grants to Bug Bounty Program
"Google is expanding its bug bounty program with the addition of an experimental grant program that pays researchers for their time, before they even discover a coding vulnerability. And, it has brought mobile app bug hunting into the initiative.
The Vulnerability Research Grants are up-front awards that are meant to encourage research participation in bug-hunting even as the effort becomes more challenging over time. There will be various tiers of grants, with a maximum of $3,133.70."
