Before and after the Spring Festival, Google Project Zero Security Star Team regardless of Microsoft and Apple repair process, determined to expose both platform loopholes in the practice, in the security circle set off a big stir. Now, Google has turned off the Pwnium hacker race to exploit its own Chrome.
For years, Google has allocated funds to support the Pwnium contest to discover the vulnerabilities of chrome and chrome OS in a timely fashion, and to reward them with white hats.
After the Pwnium is canceled, hackers looking for chrome/chromium vulnerabilities need to register at a specified time at Google's designated offline location, and can then report vulnerabilities to Google for bonuses anytime.
The original Pwnium bonuses will be distributed in new forms of cooperation through the Chromium Vulnerability Rewards program. It is described that the bonuses of high importance vulnerabilities are similar to the original Pwnium bonuses.
According to Androidpolice, this new situation allows white hats to gain Google's rewards without disclosing the details of the loophole, and is no longer subject to the time limit of the offline game, which is good for both sides.
