Starting with the AI-powered Bing experience as the first product to be examined, Microsoft has started an AI bug bounty program with up to $15,000 in potential compensation. Motivating researchers across the globe to look for security holes in the AI integrations and Bing chatbot is the main goal of the campaign.
The Microsoft AI bounty program welcomes security researchers from all around the world to find vulnerabilities in the brand-new, cutting-edge, AI-powered Bing experience, as Microsoft stated on the program’s website. $2,000 to $15,000 in bounty incentives are available for qualifying submissions.
Bing’s AI
Furthermore, additional products and integrations, such as the AI-powered Bing integration in Microsoft Edge, the Microsoft Start app, and the Skype Mobile app, may also be eligible for bounty rewards. These integrations have vulnerabilities that can be reported for evaluation and have the potential to earn rewards.
Finding significant flaws that directly and demonstrably affect user security inside the cutting-edge AI-powered Bing experience is the main goal of the AI bounty program. Participants must have permission from a legal guardian, and candidates must be at least 14 years old.
Microsoft said that it had given 345 security researchers worldwide incentives totaling $13.8 million in a blog post that examined the previous year’s bounty programs. 17 different bug bounty programs were the source of 1,180 vulnerabilities found by these researchers.
In addition to adding Exchange on-premises, SharePoint, and Skype for Business to its bug bounty program from the previous year, Microsoft also raised the maximum payouts for reporting critical security holes through the Microsoft 365 platform.
