Facebook Pays Hacker a $10,000 Cash Reward For Bug Bounty

[engine]

A hacker that discovered a vulnerability in a Facebook's server has been awarded a $10,000 "bug bounty" for reporting the issue to Facebook so that it could patch its servers.

It seems that a hacker had been there previously, according to the discovery.

"After incident response, we determined that the activity Orange detected was in fact from another researcher who participates in our bounty program," it said. Facebook Pays Hacker a $10,000 Cash Reward For Bug Bounty [bbc.co.uk]

I'd like to report a bug and get money for it. The worst bug is "log in" :)

It bugs me how much time can be wasted on FB!
