Facebook reward researchers discovered vulnerabilities



Facebook will pay for security researchers to find the problem with their website - they just report the problem for the Facebook security team first.
Facebook "follow" Google and Mozilla launched the "Web Bug Bounty" (prize money for the web bug was discovered). For errors related to security (such as inter-site scripting vulnerabilities - XSS), the company will pay 500 USD. If we are really serious flaw, then Facebook will pay more, although the company leaders did not specify how much. On Friday, 29/7/2011, Facebook launched a new portal (WhiteHat hacking), where researchers can register to participate in the program and report the error to Facebook. Many hacker publicizing software vulnerabilities, they find the website to raise the bar. Find out critical errors on a website used extensively as Facebook can help make your career more open to hackers, and inform the press about problems can make the hacker made ​​famous.



But talk about vulnerabilities before Facebook chance to patch it can be dangerous to use Facebook. In recent years, many companies (like Google) has started the bonus program for error detection to encourage the hacker to remain silent on issues they find until they are patched . Facebook's security team was involved in a lot of dialogue between security researchers and their programmers. Facebook said the hacker is a week from 30 to 50 times to contact the company, an average of 3 hours there is a new bug report. Most of the vulnerabilities XSS or CSRF (cross-site request forgery). As leaders of the company, keeping a good relationship with the hacker community is very important.
