Wish Apple would put out something like this. Anyone knows if that 1mil was ever won by anyone for finding any backdoors to Apple's system that was being provided by some other company??

      Anonymous, 29 Jan 2016Instead spending money on security you should get rid of all bloatware in the android OS. You ... moreYes because removing bloatware is far more important than security... :/

        Mark, 29 Jan 2016Very small amount of money for such company as Google.If you catch roughly 800 rewards(750+ so just catching an upper limit) amounted to $2m..
        That would be roughly $2500 per reward, which is quite decent. Agreed that 2mil is quite negligible for Google.. But from a reward point of view, its quite high..

            Instead spending money on security you should get rid of all bloatware in the android OS. You should streamline the code, remove unnecessary features and software technologies and make it simple and fast. Make new different simple UI. As the current android is power hungry, resource hungry and big security hole.

              Encouragement to find faults, rewarding the researcher, fixing the fault.

              Good strategy
