The $100,000 that James Forshaw won as a bounty from Microsoft for helping him find a major bug won’t go to him, at least not very much of it.
James Forshaw, a British security researcher, was paid a $100,000 bounty by Microsoft for finding a major security flaw within Windows 8.1.
The bounty for finding such a crucial flaw was $100,000, “probably one of the biggest made available,” explained Forshaw. Unfortunately he’s barely going to get any of it.
