Google hikes Chrome bug bounties again — maybe it trusts its LLM-powered bug finding more
moyix · x · 2026-10-14
Security researcher Moyix comments on Google again raising Chrome VRP bounties for individual bugs, speculating that Google may be gaining confidence in its internal (surely LLM-aided) bug-finding systems — able to catch most issues itself and afford to pay more for ones that slip through. He also argues strong incentives to hoard bugs rather than report immediately are unhealthy.
