Microsoft on Monday announced that it has included the Teams mobile applications for Android and iOS within the scope of its bug bounty programs.
The company added the desktop client of the Teams business communication platform to the Applications Bounty Program back in March, and is now expanding the program to include the mobile clients as well.
By expanding the bug bounty program, the tech giant is hoping to find any high-impact security vulnerabilities in the mobile applications.
The company will continue to award bug bounties for vulnerability reports submitted for both the Teams desktop client and the Teams online services, as part of their respective bounty programs.
Further information on the Microsoft Applications Bounty Program can be found on the company's online portal.
There, interested researchers can find specific details on report eligibility, the monetary rewards they can receive for different types of security holes, and what assets are within and out of scope of the bug bounty program.
