Security flaws are hiding in most of the apps you use daily, and it’s tough for companies to catch every single one. That is where bug bounty programs come in. They bring in outside experts to help find and fix these issues. The Google Play Security Reward Program is one such program that pays researchers to track down vulnerabilities in popular Android apps. However, it’s coming to an end later this month., Google has decided to wind down the GPSRP.
When the GPSRP first started, it was only available to a handful of developers who could report vulnerabilities affecting a limited set of apps. As time went on, the program broadened its reach to include all apps on Google Play with at least 100 million installs. The Google Play Security Reward Program had a clear mission: to make the Play Store a safer spot for Android apps. Google took the vulnerability data from the program and used it to build automated scans that checked all apps on Google Play for similar issues. These scans have helped over 300,000 developers fix more than 1,000,000 apps. So, overall, thanks to the GPSRP, fewer risky apps ended up in the hands of Android users.
