Google suspends open-source bug bounty programme until 2027

Original: Google suspends open‑source bug bounty programme over AI‑generated invalid submissions until 2027

Google has paused its open-source bug bounty programme, citing a flood of AI-generated invalid vulnerability reports. Submissions from automated tools have reportedly overwhelmed reviewers with low-quality noise, making the programme unworkable. The suspension is set to run until 2027, and it has renewed debate about how generative AI is straining security research incentives and vulnerability disclosure pipelines.

Why now: It highlights a growing clash between generative AI spam and security research reward systems.
