Google will partner with HackerOne, a bug bounty programme management website.

SAN FRANCISCO: Google is offering security experts a bounty to identify Android app flaws as the Alphabet Inc unit seeks to wipe out bugs from its Google Play store. 

Each flaw will score at least US$1,000 (RM4,220) under the programme announced on Thursday to back up automated checks that have failed to block malware and other problems that security experts say infect the 8-year-old app store far more than Apple Inc's rival App Store.
