In case you’re bored, want to make a few bucks, and are good at finding online security vulnerabilities, then you might want to pay attention. Especially if you’ve got insane hacking skills and want to do your socially responsible duties in a more palatable manner.

It appears that Facebook is offering a small reward to anyone who can disclose security vulnerabilities in a socially responsible manner to them. Up for grabs is $500.00 US or more depending on the severity of the find. If you’re part of their security network, then you can go to the White Hat page to report your findings and you might also see your name added to their wall of honor. Other sites like Google are offering similar types of rewards, so check around with them if you’re interested in participating.

      On this topic and more, yup, I probably am. Been down the conformance road, got CLAUSTROPHOBIC, so I’m doing what I can to build a better way for change to happen. Believe me, I’m hearing what you guys are trying to say. Some people want to fit in. Others, don’t care. Neither one is wrong. The point is for all of us to be able to live and create together until we make things better.

      -btw – I’m half-Japanese and I have no clue what that girl is doing!
