Microsoft has started a new bug bounty program centred on its OneDrive cloud storage system with a potential US$15,000 payday.
The company will offer payments between US$500 and US$15,000 (AU$660 to AU$19,813) to researchers who report issues that are confirmed to be vulnerabilities to the Microsoft Online Services Bug Bounty Program.
Microsoft offered its first bug bounty in 2013 when it offered a US$100,000 reward to the first person to hack Windows 8.1 and US$50,000 for Internet Explorer 11.
Submissions should be sent to secure@microsoft.com.
Google recently double its bug bounty prize to anyone compromising Chromebook and in early March the US Department of Defense implemented bounty program to try and crowdsource the security of their public facing websites and internal networks.
