Google announced on Thursday the launch of a new reward program for data abuse, and the expansion of the Google Play bounty program to include Android applications with over 100 million installs.
The Google Play Security Reward Program (GPSRP) now includes all the Android applications hosted on Google Play that have over 100 million installations, and vulnerabilities found in these apps will be rewarded by Google even if the developer does not have a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program.
If the developer does have a bug bounty program, researchers can receive rewards from both the developer and Google.
