Google has doubled its Chrome bug bounty from $50,000 to $100,000 for persistent compromise of a Chromebook in guest mode.
Since launching its bug bounty program in 2010, Google has forked out more than $6m, including more than $2m in 2015 alone.
However, it has never received a submission regarding a guest mode Chromebook hack.
A Google spokesperson said: “It’s no secret that Chrome takes security seriously. Now, we’re introducing two new changes to expand the Chrome Reward Program even further.
Google is also extending its reward program scope to include rewards for methods that bypass Chrome’s Safe Browsing download protection features.
Google says its focus is on critical, high and medium impact bugs, but any clever vulnerability at any severity could be rewarded.
There are three rules to keep in mind:
“We look forward to seeing some amazing bugs and continuing to work with the security research community,” the Google spokesperson said.
