Yahoo To Offer Bug Bounty Rewards Up To $15,000

aesoteric writes "Yahoo is set to launch its first formal bug bounty system after Swiss pen testers complained about the $12.50 vouchers offered for locating XSS vulnerabilities. The web giant also said the voucher rewards were informal and actually funded out of the pockets of the company's own IT security staff."

that's counter productive, hiring a full time developer to scour the site for bugs would costs hundreds of thousands, and here we have people with the skill after a small amount. Also if the people doing the pen-testing get fucked over they just release the exploit and move onto a site that appreciates their time
