The higher payout was due to the increase in AI usage, and while it looks like a good figure on the surface, there's a big caveat for those actually trying to make a living from this work.
Microsoft ha pagato $20M a 562 ricercatori per bug bounty, con payout medio di $35.500 (vs $49.000); espansione verso open-source e cloud ha generato più report. L'AI nella security democratizza la ricerca (64 paesi), ma le aziende filtrano verso high-impact vulnerabilities; Apple e GitHub hanno ristretto i programmi.
