Google has awarded Rs.£ 7.1 million for security researchers who can discover unique vulnerabilities in Pixel phones. If researchers try to find bugs that could harm user data, Google will pay them the maximum price. In addition, the search giant will offer an additional 50% bonus, totaling about Rs 100 million. For this reason, however, security researchers will have to look for vulnerabilities in "specific Android developer previews."

Google Bug Bounty plans to award the top prize to someone who can break into Google Titan M's "Security Element," similar to Apple's "iPhone Security Element a," a security chip that automatically scans hackers trying to load malware. Android phone turned on. For the new rewards category, Google is looking for "persistent full-chain remote code execution vulnerabilities that compromise Titan M security elements on Pixel devices." "

Google said: "We will offer additional rewards for complete chains of exploits (usually multiple vulnerabilities linked together) that can prove arbitrary code execution, data leakage or screen lock bypass." "When Google first launched its bug reward program for Android, the biggest bug reward was $38,000. Researchers with a track record of high-quality system safety research on any platform are eligible to apply and may end up earning up to $1 million.

Also, the news comes after security researchers recently discovered that the camera in Google Pixel smartphones can easily spy on you. Researchers at cybersecurity firm Checkmarx have discovered that attackers can control unauthorized rogue apps to take photos and/or record videos. This can only be achieved by manipulating specific actions and intentions, the IANS report said.

In July, Facebook was awarded a security researcher in Tamil Nadu. His name is Laxman Muthiyah, and he discovered a big bug in the Instagram app. After discovering a bug in Facebook's photo-sharing Instagram app, the company offered $30,000 as part of a bug bounty program. The researchers said the vulnerability allowed him to "hack into any Instagram account without consent." "。
