In an effort to battle hackers and keep the internet safe
and secure, Microsoft has teamed up with Facebook to sponsor an Internet Bug
Bounty program that'll offer a cash prize to anyone able to uncover important

severity of the flaws, and might go even higher if the discovery is deemed
important enough. Only those in the US will be eligible to receive the prize
and the money will have to go through a legal guardian if you're under 12 years
old.
The security findings must be widespread, severe, novel and not specific to
any one site. They'll be judged by a panel of experts from Microsoft, Facebook,
Google, security consulting firm iSEC partners and Etsy. Read more.
