Title: An easy $150,000 for TB to make.
Post by: Rods2 on 24 January 2014, 20:08:26
Where he is always on about Google Chrome security is not worth a wet weekend. Google are offering multiple $150,000 prizes if you can hack Chrome OS through a web page and you tell them how you did it.  :o :o :o :o

Sorry to disappoint Mr O but your actually looking at £90,876 at today's exchange rates. The prize is $150,000!  ;)

Hardly enough to fill the Merc up!  :D  ;D

They use a get-out-of-jail free card, stating they already know about found flaws (so why don't they patch them?).

This is why most hackers don't now take up Google's "offer", and sell it into the underground markets.
