LEAD STORY
GitHub splits its bug bounty program into public and invite-only tracks
Starting with reports submitted on July 27, GitHub will add a HackerOne signal threshold and fixed severity payouts to its public bounty program while making an invite-only VIP track permanent. Public critical findings pay $10,000, versus $30,000 or more for VIP researchers. The design targets a growing queue of low-effort and AI-generated reports but creates new questions about newcomer access and unequal rewards for equivalent severity.
