 |  Microsoft Pays Out $100k Bounty for Windows 8.1 Bug Could you imagine working on one thing last year, finding a bug in Windows 8.1, and making $100,000? We are all in the wrong business. James Forshaw, a security researcher at Context Information Security, picked up the full $100,000 bounty for detailing a bug that worked around some protections in the preview version of Windows 8.1. Forshaw also previously won a bounty for his role in detecting an IE11 vulnerability. Microsoft isn't detailing the exploit until the company has fully addressed it. http://www.hardocp.com/news/2013/10/...indows_81_bug/ |
