Facebook, recently paid a 10year old
boy in Finland, Jani $10,000(N2m) for
uncovering a security defect on Facebook owned photo sharing service, Instagram.
The boy found a security flaw that allowed him to delete comments on the
platform.
The social media giants usually reward
users who can reveal security flaws in any of its platforms, including
Instagram. Since the launch of bug bounty
program(a deal offered by many websites
and software developers by which individuals can receive recognition and
compensation for reporting bugs,
especially those pertaining to exploits and vulnerabilities) in 2011, Facebook has paid out over $4.3 million(N856m) in bug
bounties.
