Google suspends bug bounty program amid flood of AI reports
Original: Google temporarily suspends bug bounty program due to a surge in AI-generated bug reports.
Google has temporarily suspended its bug bounty program, citing a surge in low-quality, AI-generated vulnerability reports overwhelming its review process. Security researchers say the flood of automated, low-effort submissions is drowning out genuine findings, a problem now hitting bug bounty platforms across the industry. The suspension raises questions about how companies will filter AI spam from legitimate security work.
Why now: It highlights a growing industry-wide problem of AI-generated spam degrading security research programs.
