Google Freezes Open Source Bug Bounty Until 2027 Amid AI Spam Flood

Original: Google Freezes Open Source Bug Bounty Until 2027 Due to AI Spam Flood

Google has paused its open source bug bounty programme until 2027, citing an overwhelming flood of AI-generated spam reports. Invalid, low-quality vulnerability submissions allegedly produced by AI tools have crowded out legitimate security research, making the programme unsustainable in its current form. The move has sparked debate in the security community about how AI is affecting vulnerability disclosure processes and whether other bounty programmes will follow suit.

Why now: It highlights how AI-generated spam is disrupting established security research and disclosure programmes.
