As promised after last month's breach, OnePlus has set up a Security Response Center, which is a dedicated platform allowing security researchers to report issues, from bugs to data leaks, in OnePlus's offerings as well as their exploits.
The program covers OnePlus's mobile OS, website, forums, applications, server, and system and is open to academicians and security experts from all backgrounds and levels.

  • Rewards

Cash payout maxes out at $7,000/exploit (Rs 5 Lakh per bug find)




On a webpage detailing the program, OnePlus says that you will be eligible to receive a cash reward ranging between $50 and $7,000, depending on the severity of the vulnerability flagged by you and its impact on the company's business.
The maximum $7,000 reward has been described for 'special cases'. However, the criteria for this (and other tiers) have not been detailed by OnePlus.

Among other things, OnePlus has also partnered with cybersecurity company HackerOne.
The goal is to leverage the platform's extensive network of security experts to proactively flag and address the most relevant security issues before they are exploited by an external threat actor.
Initially, the companies will run a pilot to flag potential threats in OnePlus's system, with a public version launching later in 2020.
