Samsung Mobile bug bounty: Η Samsung εγκαινίασε ένα πρόγραμμα bug bounty, και διαθέτει μέχρι και 200.000 δολάρια σε όποιον ανακαλύψει μια κρίσιμη ευπάθεια στο λογισμικό που θα καθιστούσε δυνατή την infringement of any of her devices.
The findings that will be identified by the researchers, should affect the devices, the services, or applications developed and signed by Samsung or by third-party companies that are specifically designed for Samsung.
All devices must be fully up to date and the affected services should be active.
Samsung Mobile bug bounty: The list of devices that take part in the vulnerability search contest includes the latest models such as S8, S7 and Note 8, as well as older models released by 2016 such as J3 and A5. The Samsung Galaxy S6 is also included in the program.
"We take matters very seriously better safetyς και ιδιωτικότητας. Ως εκτίμηση για τη βοήθεια στην Samsung Mobile για τη βελτίωση security των προϊόντων μας και την ελαχιστοποίηση του κινδύνου για τους τελικούς καταναλωτές μας, προσφέρουμε ένα πρόγραμμα επιβράβευσης για τις κατάλληλες αναφορές ευπαθειών ασφαλείας”, αναφέρει η Samsung.
"Through this program, we hope to build and maintain valuable relationships with researchers who coordinate the disclosure of security issues with Samsung Mobile."
Samsung also said it would not pay researchers for flaws that lead to crash applications without any exploit.
Of course, any vulnerabilities you discover should not be disclosed to the public, but reported privately to Samsung, who will then review your findings and decide whether to issue payment or not.
