No Simple Bug Bounty: Microsoft Rewards "Novel Exploitation Techniques"

Microsoft offers researchers $100,000, or even more, for work that enhances security, but it turns out the Microsoft program isn't precisely a bug bounty. Katie Moussouris, senior security strategist lead for Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, explained the difference.

"Microsoft's $100,000 Mitigation Bypass Bounty requires participants to submit truly novel exploitation techniques against our latest Windows platform," said Moussouris, "so that we can improve our platform-wide defenses. New exploitation techniques are more difficult to find than individual vulnerabilities and learning about them will help us protect customers against entire classes of attacks to improve security by leaps, rather than addressing one vulnerability at a time." She concluded, "We encourage researchers to read the guidelines of our bounty programs at Microsoft Security :: Security Vulnerability | Report a Vulnerability | MSRC: and send in their submissions to secure@microsoft.com."
