Now Google will also reward all the Security Researchers who will also be looking for bugs in third-party apps, but it must be on the Third-Party App Play Store and its installation should be 100 million.
Google is increasing its Google Play Security Rewards program. Under this program, Google rewards various developers and security researchers for finding bugs in the Play Store apps.
Until then, the program was only for apps that were originally registered by the developer of the app. Google has now expanded the scope of the program. Every app on the Play Store that has more than 100 million downloads will qualify for the program. Even if the app developer didn't register for the Big Bounty program, Google will still reward you for searching for bugs in the app.
If app developer registers, bug seekers will receive a double reward.Google says developers will be notified via play console if an application error is detected.
According to Google, 3 million developers have participated in the program so far. They have discovered bugs out of 1 million apps. Google has so far paid $ 655,000 under the program.
Google paid $ 75,500 in July and August this year.
In addition to enhancing GPSRP, Google has announced another program developer Data Protection Reward Program or DDPRP. It was launched in partnership with HackerOne. This program will see if data is being misused in apps. DDPRP will also apply to OAuth projects, Google's APIs and Chrome extensions.Data will be awarded if any researcher finds data being misused in Google services or apps, etc. or if the data is being sold without the user's consent. Google says they have not set a maximum reward limit for Researchers, but Google also says that Researchers can receive a $ 50,000 or 45,000 euro reward from the program.
