Risky Bulletin: Intel ends paid bug bounties

Intel has discontinued financial rewards in its bug bounty program, removing payouts that previously reached $100,000 per vulnerability. The company updated its program page on the Intigriti platform in mid-September to add a 'No bounty' marker, eliminating incentives for independent security researchers to report findings.

Why it matters: Security researchers and vendors relying on Intel's bounty program lose financial incentive to report vulnerabilities responsibly, potentially affecting disclosure timelines and the flow of threat intelligence to practitioners defending Intel-based systems.
