Google has announced a bug bounty programme for Android Enterprise that will pay you up to $250,000 if you discover a flaw in a Google Pixel smartphone.
Android 12 is currently available for Google’s Pixel phones and will be rolled out to additional devices over the next few months. You probably think of Android as a consumer device, but over the last few years, Google has worked hard to make it an enterprise tool as well. With the release of Android 12, which already contains a number of new enterprise features by default, Google is also unveiling a handful of new security-focused efforts for Android Enterprise.
This includes a new bug bounty programme called the Android Enterprise Vulnerability Program, which offers up to $250,000 for a complete vulnerability of a Pixel smartphone running Android Enterprise.
As Google gets ready to re-enter China with its censored search engine after boycotting the country in 2010 over concerns of censorship and surveillance, there's an opening that will need to be filled. Google is good at keeping secrets—especially ones that they're keeping from you. They never talk about how much money they're worth or how many people they employ, but they'll happily dish about this little trick they've been playing on people for years. Google will pay you $2,50,000 to leave your job and start their 10-week career change program.
