Earn a Million: Yandex Increases Reward for Bug Hunters in Mobile Apps

Increased payouts will attract more specialists to improve application security

The Yandex team has changed the "Bug Bounty" program. Now, mobile applications are выделены in a separate category, and the maximum reward for a detected error has become significantly larger — it has been raised from 300 thousand to 1 million rubles.

Computer security specialists — white hat hackers — face the task of finding weaknesses in the system that could threaten the security of the application and lead to leakage of confidential data.

The amount of the reward will depend on how popular the application is, how the vulnerability can affect the security of users, and other factors.

The "Bug Bounty" program is one of Yandex's tools that helps ensure application security and protect user data.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Yandex Market launched equipment insurance. This is the first marketplace in Russia to offer such a service. You can already apply for a free insurance policy from AlfaStrakhovanie for certain types of electronics.
