Google pauses bug bounty program amid AI-generated spam

Original: Google pauses open-source bug bounty program after rise in AI spam submissions

Google has temporarily paused its open-source bug bounty program, which pays researchers for reporting security flaws in projects like Chromium and Bazel, after a wave of low-quality, AI-generated submissions flooded the system. The company says the volume of automated, invalid reports made it hard to review legitimate vulnerabilities, forcing the suspension.

Why now: The pause highlights a growing problem of AI tools being used to mass-submit spam to security reward programs.
