News 18  

Zoom is the latest technology company to award bug bounty, and the platform claims it gave away a bounty of $1.8 million to security researchers in 2021, across a total of 401 reports submitted. Bug bounty programs are essentially used by companies to take help from external sources to fix bug issues in their product, in this case, Zoom, and reward them for the effort, based on the severity of the bug discovered and reported. Since January 2021, Zoom’s bug bounty rewards start at a low base of $250 for a single report, and researchers discovering major issues can be awarded as high as $50,000. As part of the bug bounty program, independent security experts dig through the software for major vulnerabilities.
