PORNHub revamps bug bounty, back pays cash, hires staff, after criticism

Pornhub is paying thousands of extra dollars to researchers who have already submitted vulnerabilities under its bug bounty program as part of an overhaul.

The adult megasite draws a blistering 60 million visitors a day and pays up to US$34,764 (£17,016, A$34,767) for the worst bugs and as little as US$50 for small vulnerabilities.

It has now upped the payments of various bugs since it launched the program earlier this month, and is retrospectively paying additional cash to researchers who have already submitted and been paid for flaws.

It says it has received thousands of submissions since the program launched.

Of those some researchers critcised the site for paying too little for bugs, the most recent triggering a revamp to the amount of cash paid out for flaws.
