Wow, if I needed any more proof Google is a ghost ship then this is it. The $5K bounty is an insult, and the fact that they low-balled it in the first place makes them look like absolute clowns. Good on you for calling out how little of a shit Google gives about actually protecting user data.
- jcims 1y agoNobody is forced to participate in a bug bounty. If you don't like the rewards, don't do it. There's a limit to the financial viability of these programs.
- raxxorraxor 1y agoThis is why there need to be strong fines associated with such security issues. That would provide financial viability enough. Even if the issue wasn't abused, it looks like data already leaked.
- sjg1729 1y agoIf the bug bounty program doesn’t pay out much, there will be plenty of less reputable actors happy to pay more
- dns_snek 1y agoWho's talking about participation? We can be appalled by their business practices as their customers (actual or potential). These are the same companies that tell us that our privacy and security is their #1 concern, and use that justification to take away our rights "for our own good", but when there's a real threat they address it with with a business-casual equivalent of "fuck off".
