Post Mozilla: Dollars for Security Bugs - August 4th, 2004, 11:47 PM

With the threat of malicious intrusion escalating, the open source Mozilla Foundation is putting a price tag on the discovery of critical security flaws in its browser projects.

With financial backing from Linux vendor Linspire (formerly Lindows and South African venture capitalist Mark Shuttleworth, Mozilla has launched the "Mozilla Security Bug Bounty Program" to dole out a $500 cash prize to users reporting critical security bugs.

Information about which bugs are eligible and how to claim the bounty has been posted to the security section of Mozilla's Web site.

This is a fantastic idea, and an example of a company showing concern for the safety and security of its users. Perhaps MS could learn from this.
