If you’re a security expert and fond of traveling, United Airlines’ new bug bounty program will likely be of interest.
Companies such as Google, Microsoft and Facebook offer monetary rewards to outside researchers who discover and disclose security flaws. Now, United has started a similar program, but, in keeping with the company’s services, has chosen to offer air miles as rewards.

If the submission meets our requirements, we’ll gladly reward you for your time and effort.”
