Google has announced a new platform and community designed to host all its Vulnerability Rewards Programs under the same roof.
In all, Google says that the researchers have been rewarded $29,357,516 since January 2010, when it launched the Chromium vulnerability reward program.
"This new site brings all of our VRPs closer together and provides a single intake form that makes it easier for bug hunters to submit issues."
Google also launched a new Bug Hunter University, which would allow bug hunters to brush up on their skills or start a hunting learning streak.
"Since its inception, the VRP program has not only grown significantly in terms of report volume, but the team of security engineers behind it has also expanded - including almost 20 bug hunters who reported vulnerabilities to us and ended up joining the Google VRP team," Google added.
"That is why we are thrilled to bring you this new platform, continue to grow our community of bug hunters and support the skill development of up-and-coming vulnerability researchers."
