Although it sounds like a story from a typical hacker movie , it is completely true: the major mobile phone and technological device brands take security very seriously and one of them is Samsung , the long-standing Korean company that has been competing with Apple, Xiaomi, LG and Sony, among others, for many years. To show that they are willing to do anything to guarantee the security of their terminals, the company is offering one million dollars (about 920,000 euros at the current exchange rate) to anyone who finds a security flaw .

There are millions of people around the world using Samsung devices, so a security breach could seriously undermine the trust that many people have in the brand . To prevent this, the company launched the Samsung Mobile Security Rewards Program in 2017, which helps people who are capable of investigating and detecting security errors for a fee.

Thanks to the report on the program that Samsung makes public every year, it has been possible to know that they have already paid almost 5 million dollars in rewards since 2017 and that 827,000 dollars correspond only to the 2023 fiscal year . It is clear that there are experts in the field willing to earn some extra savings and the company, aware of this and more committed than ever to the security of its devices, has decided to increase the prize for finding a bug: one million dollars . If you want to try your luck, you can check out all the available rewards and the requirements to aspire to each one .
