Bounty offered for Vista, IE flaws

VeriSign’s security arm iDefense announced this week that the company would pay independent flaw finders $8,000 for each remotely exploitable flaw found in Microsoft’s Windows Vista or Internet Explorer 7.

“Both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Windows dominate their respective markets, and it is not surprising that the decision to update to the current release of Internet Explorer 7.0 and/or Windows Vista is fraught with uncertainty,” the company said in the statement announcing the program. “Primary in the minds of IT security professionals is the question of vulnerabilities that may be present in these two groundbreaking products.”

Anyone ?
