Google suspends part of its open source bug bounty
Original: Why Google is suspending part of its open source bug bounty
Google is suspending part of its bug bounty programme covering open source projects. The company, which pays researchers for reporting security vulnerabilities, is halting rewards for a segment of the initiative. The move is drawing attention from security researchers and developers, who are questioning what prompted the decision and what it means for independent vulnerability reporting in widely used open source software.
Why now: Security researchers and open source contributors are reacting to Google scaling back a long-running vulnerability reward scheme.
