Microsoft has instituted afresh bug bounty initiativethat acknowledges and incentivizes security researchers and ethical hackers for identifying and disclosing security gaps in its Bing search engine, which includes the newly inaugurated Bing Chat AI search chatbot. The program’s purpose is to strengthen the security and dependability of Bing as it becomes increasingly reliant on AI technology.

What is Microsoft’s bug bounty program?

The bug bounty program provides security researchers and ethical hackers with an opportunity to identify potential vulnerabilities in computer programs or websites. These experts are incentivized with handsome rewards for successfully identifying security gaps. Once a flaw, commonly known as a ‘bug,’ is identified, the researcher must report it to Microsoft to receive their bounty.

Individuals seeking to participate in the latest expansion of the bug bounty program forthe new Bing platformare required to submit a thorough report via thegeneral submission listand select Bing from the list of available products. The submission should include the bug’s type, the version that contains it, any updates that may have been installed, specific configurations needed to replicate it, and step-by-step instructions for reproducing the issue during the first installation. All submissions must adhere to the Microsoft Bounty Terms and Conditions and conform to the Microsoft Cloud Bounty Program Scope. Following submission, Microsoft will evaluate the eligibility and assign it to engineers for review. If deemed appropriate, a bounty will be rewarded.
