3 Entertainment & Technology Facebook Increases Bug Bounty Program to Combat Internal Network Breaches Facebook s security team had to make a big decision after receiving an unexpected tip in May. Somebody unearthed weakness in the company s network that left internal communications vulnerable to eavesdropping. Facebook engineers quickly went to work to fix the bug. Then came a bigger dilemma: whether to reward the person who gave them the tip, who is well known in the computer hacker community. The team made an unprecedented choice. Facebook would offer a bounty to anyone who finds a hole in its corporate network and reports it without exploiting it. This marks Facebook as becoming the first big technology provider to reward the hackers who can uncover these vulnerabilities. This is considered a risky proposition since the company stores data on its more than 900 million users. Facebook was already one of the few large companies, besides Google Inc. (GOOG), that pays a bug bounty, or cash reward, to hackers who report weaknesses in its products. Many companies don t do this, saying it provides incentives for hackers to attack the system. September Premieres Revolution Premieres Mon., September 17, 2012 at 9:00 p.m. A high-octane action drama that follows a group of characters struggling to survive and reunite with loved ones in a world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist. Guys with Kids Premieres Wed., September 26, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. From Executive Producer Jimmy Fallon comes a comedy about three thirty something guys enjoying the adventures of parenting, despite the fact they haven t grown up themselves.
