Facebook pays for security loopholes
Facebook has spent $40,000 (£25,000) in the first 21 days of a program that rewards the discovery of security bugs.
The bug bounty program aims to encourage security researchers to help harden Facebook against attack.
One security researcher has been rewarded with more than $7,000 for finding six serious bugs in the social networking site.
The program runs alongside Facebook’s efforts to police the code it creates that keeps the social site running.
