In today’s world, one of the biggest priorities for tech giants is protecting user data and device security. With the advancement of artificial intelligence models, data security has become increasingly important. Now, South Korean tech giant Samsung is promising substantial rewards for white-hat hackers and skilled developers.
Samsung Details Its Reward Program
Samsung’s Mobile Security Rewards Program, launched in 2017, has awarded a total of $5 million to ethical and white-hat hackers and developers to date.
The company paid a total of $827,000 to 113 researchers in the past year. The highest award went to TASZK Security Labs, a cybersecurity firm that identified vulnerabilities allowing remote attacks, earning them the reward.
Samsung has introduced a new reward program called Samsung Mobile AI Security, focusing on AI-driven solutions like Galaxy AI. This program aims to offer record-breaking rewards for identifying potential security flaws in new software technologies.
How to Win Rewards:
- Remote Code Execution: Exploiting high-privilege targets.
- Full User Data Extraction: Accessing and extracting complete user databases.
- Device Lock Bypass: Breaking into locked devices.
- Unauthorized App Installation: Installing apps without permission.
- Protection System Bypass: Overcoming device protection mechanisms.
Given Samsung’s billions of users, the potential damage from a security flaw in their software is substantial compared to the rewards offered. If you have an interest in software development or cybersecurity as a profession, these criteria might be worth considering.
If you successfully bypass Samsung’s “Auto Blocker” feature, which prevents unauthorized app installations, and prove it to Samsung, you can receive $100,000 without further evaluation.
