Microsoft offering $250,000 to anyone who can enhance Windows security

Microsoft offering $250,000 to anyone who can enhance Windows security

In the recent hacking events it's only natural that companies have started to sit up and take notice of their security. Even though they may not have been the target of the recent waves of attacks by hacking groups Anonymous and LulzSec, companies are starting to realize that while they may have been lucky this time, they may not be in the future. Microsoft, perhaps in a bid to stay ahead of the pack, have recently offered cash rewards to security researchers who will be able to develop new security defenses to protect Windows users against attacks that exploit bugs found in softwares.
