Intel does not want more security surprises, such as Meltdown and Specter and has announced the Intel Bug Bounty campaign, in which it will reward all those who find a vulnerability in their products.

Large companies no longer often hire security experts to look for flaws in their tools, they have changed this practice to offer great rewards for those who find security problems in their applications. Google tends to bet on launching different challenges to users and whoever detects a security problem can get a great reward. Intel has copied this strategy, after being affected by Specter and Meltdown. To avoid any more surprises in the future, they have decided to encourage all developers and security experts and anyone to look for vulnerabilities in their processors and be rewarded for it.

Intel will pay to all those who find security flaws in their processors and it will not be little, since it seeks to encourage many people to search every corner of the processor. Specifically, this reward system has been baptized by the company, as Intel Bug Bounty, which is nothing more than a program that invites everyone to look for security flaws in the company's processors, thus, encourages many people to participate.

The payment will depend on the severity of the vulnerability, so the more severe the security breach, the more we can achieve. What is sought is to make a fair payment to the user or users who detect failures, such as Specter and Meltdown, for example. Those interested should send a full report on how they have found it, how it is and what can be done with this security breach and Intel itself will be responsible for solving and covering the security hole.

The amounts are not known, but the largest reward ever given by the company amounts to $ 250.000, although there are smaller ones, paying up to $ 100.000 on some occasions. There's no rush, as the Intel Bug Bounty is open until December 31, 2018, so we have plenty of time to take a look at the company's processors from top to bottom.
