Bounty

A bug bounty is a reward offered by organizations to individuals who report vulnerabilities in their software or systems. It is a program designed to incentivize ethical hackers to find and disclose security flaws before malicious actors can exploit them.

Why it’s in the news: It is in the news because Google has suspended its open-source bug bounty program due to a significant increase in low-quality, automated vulnerability reports generated by AI.
