Google raises the rewards of penetrating the Android system to $ 200 thousand

Google has provided generous financial rewards to security researchers who discover gaps in its various services, and Android is no exception, as Google has expanded the value of financial rewards to $ 200,000 per gap.

The value of the equivalent remote exploit chain gaps or gaps that lead to a reliable environment or a definite takeoff has been adjusted to increase from $ 50,000 to $ 200,000.

While the system kernel gap was raised remotely from $ 30,000 to $ 150,000. Google said some important statistics about the safety of Android.

In the past year, Google has received only 450 reports of loopholes in the Android system that paid more than $ 1.5 million in bonuses to its researchers.

But last year, none of the researchers could detect gaps of the most dangerous type, which offered the biggest reward, prompting Google to increase the value of the prize money.

On average, Google paid $ 2,150 per one-gap gap to 115 security researchers, and because each researcher reported more than one gap, the average researchers had $ 10,209.

A team of security researchers named C0RE was identified with a reward of $ 300,000 for 118 gap reports. There are 31 security researchers each receiving a reward of $ 10,000.

Smartphone manufacturers are sending security updates to the Android system at a good pace, as more than 100 different models have received the latest security updates for Android.
