Microsoft's Bug Bounty Betrayal Puts Everyone in Danger

About this episode

The episode discusses Microsoft's failure to pay bug bounties and its impact on trust with security researchers.

In this video I discuss how Microsoft's refusal to pay out on bug bounties is dissolving trust between them and security researchers causing them to no longer take on bug bounties and in some cases just release public exploits for Microsoft's software.
