Google has doubled the reward on offer to anyone who can compromise the security of a Chromebook in guest mode from US$50,000 to US$100,000.
The IT giant introduced the reward last year and is yet to have any successful submissions, according to Google’s Nathan Parker and Tim Willis.
"That said, great research deserves great awards, so we’re putting up a standing six-figure sum, available all year round with no quotas and no maximum reward pool," said the pair in a blog post on Monday US time.
The company is also extending the reward program to include anyone that can bypass Chrome’s safe browsing download protection features.
Google typically offers between US$500 and US$15,000 for reported bugs depending on the quality of reporting. So far, Google has handed out more than US$2 million to hackers for bug reporting.
