Google has just announced a big-money bug-chasing competition for Android – and this one is a contest with an interesting twist.
Simply put, you do this:
- Choose one of Google’s official “over the air” Android 7 firmware releases for the Nexus 5X and 6P phones.
- Figure out a remotely exploitable sequence of bugs by which you can steal files from another app.
- Prove your exploit to Google within a one-hour “hacking window”.
- Pocket $200,000.
Once the main prize has gone, there’s another $100,000 for second place, and $50,000 to be split amongst other winners.
