Ethical hackers are using artificial intelligence tools to find bugs in computer code and claim thousands of dollars worth of rewards, but other hackers are using the same AI tools to generate realistic but meaningless bug reports, making it difficult to know which reports to trust.
Bug bounties are programs that offer financial rewards to people who find flaws in software. They have been used in cybersecurity for decades to encourage people to report problems so programmers can harden both existing and pre-existing systems.
