GitHub has launched the GitHub Bug Bounty program to enhance the security of its services by engaging with security researchers and hackers to identify and report vulnerabilities. The program incentivizes these efforts by offering monetary rewards ranging from $100 to $5000, based on the severity and potential impact of the discovered vulnerabilities on its users. The bounty amounts are determined by factors such as the prevalence of the affected browser, with more critical vulnerabilities in widely-used browsers like Chrome earning higher rewards. Currently, the program covers a subset of GitHub's products and services, with plans to expand its scope. Further information and guidelines are available on the GitHub Bug Bounty site.
