OpenAI raised the bounty for the bugs it missed

OpenAI raised Security Bug Bounty payouts on November 2. A critical finding in a core product such as ChatGPT, Codex, or the API now pays up to $30,000. Exceptional cases can pay more once bonuses are included. This is a researcher program, not a product setting.

Verdict
Watch Promising, but something is missing: access, pricing, or proof.
For
security researchers who already report bugs to OpenAI
Why it matters
A critical finding in a core product now pays up to $30,000. This is a researcher program, not a product setting.
