Microsoft has announced the Zero Day Quest, an in-person hacking event aimed at addressing high-impact security vulnerabilities in cloud and AI technologies. This event will supplement Microsoft's bug bounty program by offering an additional $4 million in rewards for researchers who identify significant flaws. The initiative, beginning now with submission acceptance, culminates in a gathering at Microsoft's headquarters in 2025, where participants can engage directly with AI engineers and the specialized AI Red Team. Microsoft also intends to enhance transparency by sharing information about fixed vulnerabilities to promote industry learning.
