November 10, 2003A Bounty for BugsSecurityFocus published an interesting article today on the idea of vendors rewarding individuals who responsibly find and report the security holes that make cyber attacks possible. It goes further to recommend a strategy on how to do this. And it has some merit. But it requires a lot more thought (as the Mark admits himself). I see huge issues with conflict-resolution that would need to be addressed, especially when trying to determine the real risk associated with the bug, and if others have already reported it. Who would monitor the monitors that would watch this process? All and all, its a neat idea, and I like it. I would love to see how this plays out, but I would gather there are few vendors in the industry that are willing to pay a bounty like this. Who knows.
