OpenAI raises top bug bounty payout to $172,000 with bonuses

OpenAI expanded its security bug bounty program, raising maximum payouts to $172,000 and introducing performance bonuses for researchers. The program aims to incentivize independent vulnerability discovery and complements the company's internal Defense Factory efforts to identify and remediate security issues.

Why it matters: Security researchers and vendors evaluating responsible disclosure channels now have clearer financial incentives to report OpenAI vulnerabilities rather than exploit them or sell them to third parties.
