This is not your ordinary rewards program, it's Google's way of paying it forward. to hackers. After celebrating the one year anniversary of its unique initiative this past November - in which the coding-inclined are compensated for exposing critical flaws across its suite of web services - the folks over at Mountain View have updated the program's policies with a bigger chunk of cash. Previously, the search giant had set a max payout of $3,133.7 for any discovered vulnerabilities (a bizarre sum, we know), but that cap has now seen an increase up to $20,000 depending on the severity of the reported bug.
