VK placed a program to search for vulnerabilities on the BugBounty.ru platform, which became the third platform with which the company partnered.
In the summer, VK began cooperation with the Positive Technologies Standoff 365 platform, and in November with the BI.ZONE Bug Bounty platform.
The VK program includes 27 projects: VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Mail.ru mail, RuStore and other services. For each vulnerability identified, bug hunters can receive rewards from 3,000 rubles to 1.8 million rubles, depending on the severity of the threat.
“In 2022, VK accepted more than 750 reports, the total amount of payments exceeded 13 million rubles,” said Alexei Volkov, vice president and director of information security at VK.
As RB.RU specified in the company, since the first launch of the program, 163 bug hunters have submitted their reports. The largest payment was 1.2 million rubles.
In November, VK added the RuStore marketplace to its Standoff 365 Bug Bounty platform bug bounty program. For detected errors, the company pays from 3 to 60 thousand rubles.
