Bug bounty program for Xbox
Basically everyone can participate. However, the reports submitted should be comprehensive and qualitatively convincing. Only then can Microsoft reproduce the problem and look for a solution. Microsoft has published a few examples to help beginners get started.
The amount of the tip for the tipster depends on the severity of the reported bug. There are also bugs that are not rewarded at all, for example a bug that is used by classic cheat software. The reward ranges from $ 500 to $ 20,000 per bug reported.
The program is intended to make the console even more secure. So far, good results have been achieved with similar programs. Microsoft says:
“The Xbox Bounty program is now inviting players, security researchers, and others around the world to help identify vulnerabilities in the Xbox Live network and services, and to report them to the Xbox team. Qualified submissions are eligible for bounty awards ranging from $ 500 to $ 20,000. ”
