OnePlus is launching a bug bounty program after disclosing the second breach in two years

OnePlus announced its second data breach in two years back in November, and the phone maker promised to launch a bug bounty program by the end of the year to beef up its security. A bug bounty program could, in theory, prevent future breaches. Today, OnePlus announced that its bug bounty program is now live.

If you find a bug or vulnerability, you can submit it here (although you'll need to make an account first), and it seems the company will be updating a leaderboard of top contributors and featuring the top three contributors on the bug bounty program's main page.

High: $250–$750

Medium: $100–$250

Low: $50–$100
