Hot Take:

Samsung has thrown some serious cash at bug hunters, proving once again that the best way to a hacker’s heart is through their wallet. Just make sure you don’t get caught “smishing” on your lunch break!

Key Points:

  • Samsung’s new bounty program handsomely rewards bug hunters for finding security vulnerabilities in mobile devices.
  • Local arbitrary execution flaws can earn up to $300,000, while remote code execution vulnerabilities can hit $1,000,000.
  • Successful data extraction on first unlock is worth $400,000, but only $200,000 if it’s after the first unlock.
  • Samsung has paid out $827,925 in 2023 and over $4.9 million since 2017 through its bug bounty programs.
  • Vulnerabilities must be persistent, 0-click, and buildable exploits that work on the latest security updates to qualify for maximum rewards.
