Google increases Chrome bug bounty rewards up to $250,000

Google updated its Chrome Vulnerability Reward Program to significantly increase payouts—up to $250,000+ for demonstrated non-sandboxed RCE—and to better reward high-quality, impact-driven research; MiraclePtr bypass rewards were also raised to $250,128. The program clarifies vulnerability impact tiers and maintains bonus rewards, while noting the closure of Google Play Security Reward Program submissions on August 31 and the launch of kvmCTF offering $250,000 for full VM escape exploits.
