South Korean technology company Samsung recently announced a new bug bounty program to encourage global information security researchers to actively look for security vulnerabilities in their mobile devices. If a vulnerability is successfully found that allows arbitrary code execution on a device, the reward can be up to US$300,000 (about HK$2.34 million), and for a remote code execution vulnerability , the prize can be as high as US$1 million (about HK). $7.8 million).
The project, called the Critical Scenario Vulnerability Program (ISVP), focuses on vulnerabilities in device unlocking, data extraction, and bypassing device protection. In the case of Samsung’s Rich OS system, the reward for finding a vulnerability that executes code on the device is US$150,000 (about HK$1.17 million), and the reward for a remote code execution vulnerability is up to US$300,000 (about HK$2.34 million). If you can successfully extract the data through the first solution, you will receive a bonus of US$400,000 (about HK$3.12 million). one million). To get the most benefit, the vulnerability found must be stable and click-free.
Other vulnerabilities with lower bounties have bounties of US$100,000 and US$60,000 (about HK$780,000 and HK$468,000) respectively, including remote installation of any application from the unofficial market or the attacker’s server. To qualify for a successful report, the vulnerability must be a buildable program that continues to run without permission on Samsung flagship devices with the latest security updates.
Samsung revealed that last year’s bug bounty program paid US$827,925 (about HK$6.46 million) in rewards, and 113 security researchers participated in this reward program. Since 2017, Samsung has paid out more than US$4.9 million (about HK$38.21 million)in bounties across all bug bounty programs.
