That's a good next step.
I'm hopeing they'll go one more before release (when they believe it's as tight as they can make it) and offer a bounty, say $10-50k (sliding scale depending on severity with say a $2millon total cap)for major new bugs.
That should even get some hackers to step forward with the backdoors they have been 'saving' for resale/use after release. They can't pre announce it as some people might wait (the danger being, someone else reports it first.
Most would jump at a legal $50k sure thing over a maybe still hidden possible attack/possible profit (with major risk) later.
$2 million (max. if there more than 40 big bugs left, it's back to the drawing board) would be a cheap final test, given what they have put in it, and what they will make, on a well tested really secure product. |
