The social network outlined a scheme on Thursday where it will pay those who find security flaws in the site a minimum of $140 as the prize for their vigilance and discretion.
The initiative was started by a company called HackerOne on Twitter’s behalf in June. The ‘bug bounty ‘payments were however only implemented this week to provide coders an incentive not to exploit any bugs they find.
The site revealed that it had learned of 44 site flaws through the scheme so far, but expects more hackers to participate in future as a result of the payments.
