The rules of Android Security Awards can be adapted to what the developers have to present to the company, but in general terms provides a bounty of $ 500 for those who find fault moderate severity.
The value doubles to 1:00 dollars if the fault is severe and back to double, to $ 2,000, when someone discovers a critical failure. If coupled with the failure, the programmer has to deliver to the company a fix that resolves the issue, the reward value rises over 50%.
rewards programs for fault detection are a common practice in the industry, which maintains its own teams of “hunters”. As it is impossible to guarantee 100% secure surveillance of all software, complement this action with this type of program.
In the case of this new Android Security Awards still worth underlining that Google requires that failures are demonstrated in equipment sold in Google Play the United States, that is, will have to be demonstrated in a Nexus 6 or 9 (smartphone and tablet).
The company explains that the requirement aims to guarantee that the company is able to analyze in detail any reported problem. The Nexus is designed by Google and manufactured in partnership with companies in the sector.
