San Francisco: 29/7/17:To ensure Windows 10 is secure and bug-free, Microsoft has announced a fresh round of Windows Bounty Programme that will reward the bug finders up to $250,000 if they are able to discover exploits in Microsoft’s virtualisation software.
Bounty payouts will range from $500 to $250,000.
Microsoft has been running the bounty programme since 2012 but the company is expanding it to cover more ground in Windows 10.
According to a blog post on the company’s website late on Wednesday, any critical or important class remote code execution, elevation of privilege or design flaws that compromises a customer’s privacy and security will receive a bounty.
