Microsoft on June 19 posted bounties of up to $100,000 for "truly novel" ways to hack the latest version of its Windows software for powering computers. "For the first time ever, Microsoft is offering direct cash payouts in exchange for reporting certain types of vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques," the US software titan said in a blog post.
The bounty programme will be launched with three categories of 'wanted' hacker tricks on June 26, the same day Microsoft is to preview a tweaked version of its operating system referred to as Windows Blue but officially called Windows 8.1.
A Mitigation Bypass Bounty will pay up to $100,000 for "truly novel exploitation techniques" targeting Windows 8.1 and as much as $50,000 for ways to defend against hacker attacks that qualify for rewards.
