Find Microsoft's flaw and get around Rs 1.6 crore

To make Windows 10 secure and bug-free, Microsoft has announced a new round of Windows Bounty Program, under which a bug finder will be given a reward of $ 2,50,000 if they find a bug in Microsoft virtualization software. Anyone who finds the bug will be given $500 to $2,50,000 (about Rs 1.6 crore).

Microsoft started the bug finding program in 2012 itself. Now it has been extended to Windows 10 also. According to a post on the company's website late Wednesday night, there will be a reward for reporting any critical bug, code execution, privilege or design flaw that compromises customer privacy and security.

“If a researcher reports a bug that is already known to Microsoft, a maximum of 10 percent of the highest amount will be awarded to the first person to report a bug,” the company announced.

Other technology companies like Google, Facebook and Apple offer similar rewards to those who find bugs and flaws in their software.
