Mozilla Increases Bounty Payouts to the Mozilla Web Security Bounty Program
Mozilla has made significant changes to its Mozilla Web Security Bounty Program. Currently talking about web browsers, especially in the developer community, Firefox has to mention its existence. Firefox keeps mentioning security, and Firefox 70, released last month, has once again enhanced tracking protection. Now on security issues, Mozilla decided to significantly increase bounty payouts to its vulnerabilities.
According to the Web and Services Bug Bounty Program page, double the total web spend for critical sites, core sites, and other Mozilla sites. In addition, the cost of executing bugs for remote code on critical sites doubled to $15,000.
