Security researchers and ethical hackers can now report bugs in AMD hardware, firmware or software and receive cash rewards.
Previously the program was closed but now it is open to the public, which will attract the attention of more researchers from different fields.
The size of the rewards depends on the severity of the vulnerability and the product category. For example, for critical vulnerabilities in hardware you can get up to $ 30,000 (about 3 million rubles).
Bounty programs are important for tech companies to help detect and resolve potential problems before they become widely known.
Examples of AMD’s current vulnerabilities include issues with Ryzen 7000 processors and BIOS vulnerabilities.
