GadgetFan - Lately, many large companies around the world are vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Because the web giant Google decided to challenge the hackers and will pay U.S. $ 20,000 to anyone who can penetrate the security system on Google and found the disability system.
Google does this as a way to mitigate hacker attack, bug, and knowing that there are defects in the system. Google also has conducted research on security in recent years and has hired nearly 200 people and spent about U.S. $ 460,000 to keep their keamaan from hacker attacks.
"We sure have removed any doubt on this program and has made Google users feel more secure," said the security forces, Google Adam Mein and Michal Zalewski, in his blog.
Currently the hacker can get a reward of up to U.S. $ 20,000 if you can find defects in the system and U.S. $ 10,000 for SQL injection and multiple types of information disclosure, authentication, and bugs. In addition hacker can get around U.S. $ 3,000 for XSS and XSRF.
According to Forbes, previously Google has given the highest payment to the hacker with a value of U.S. $ 3,133.70.
Google acknowledged some of the products is quite vulnerable to hacker attacks that have the potential to obtain personal data from its users. One such product is the Google Wallet.
Vulnerability in Google Wallet can be very easily exploited by hackers to access funds through the user's prepaid card information. Mein and Zalewski said he would give a higher reward to find the weaknesses in the service where there is a higher risk for user data, such as Google Wallet.
Since Google launched the program this Reward Vulnerability in November 2010, Google has received over 780 reports of defects in the system.
The program is actually designed to recruit external investigators to find bugs and system deficiencies.
