Meta, in addition to securing large datasets containing Facebook user information, is also trying to take precautions against data scraping. Accordingly, it has made a number of expansions to its bug bounty program.
Over the past 10 years, Facebook has grown its bug program from the Facebook website to its service at all tiers, including Instagram, WhatsApp, Quest, Workplace and other platforms. It is known that Facebook has paid more than $14 million in error detection awards since 2011, and 7,800 of the 150,000 reports received were awarded. It was expected that this system would continue after Facebook changed its name to Meta, and the company expanded its range by redesigning this program.
With the Gold+ HackerPlus bug bounty program it announced, Meta will seek to reward on a larger scale, thus aiming to more tightly protect its new platform against exploits. You can find the details of the program here.
