Proposed: a Bounty for Bugs

Instead of paying hard cash to punish computer criminals, vendors should reward grey hat hackers for responsibly finding and reporting the security holes that make cyber attacks possible.

Your plan is great! Only one detail needs to be changed: instead of 6000, let's make it 600,000.

See, vendors are happy to have everyone do free or extremely cheap QA for them. They'd like to set the price for the rest of us on our information.

Aka, your plan is crap.
