Get Paid $8,000-12,000 Dollars to Hack Vista or IE7

« on: January 11, 2007, 10:22:50 am »

I just saw this.
Apparently they are willing to pay $8,000 to 12,000 if you discover a security hole in Vista or IE7
They only pay the first 6 exploits though.

I may have to look into this.

Dont think so.
I should really get around to having a crack at this.
I dont have vista installed though.
Most smart hackers wont.
I may have to try IE7 though.

Holly crap that is a butt load of money. I would NEVER spend that much on an intangible object. What do they plan on doing with something like that?

I dont really care as long as I get paid, but if I had to hazard a guess, sell the info to Microsoft.

I assume you mean case not ase. Grin

Generally I find its good having a go between.
Anyway me and Microsoft dont have the best relationship anymore.
I said a few things to some people there I probably shouldnt have.
