360 Security, the largest contributor to Google’s vulnerability disclosure program
Google has been running the Vulnerability Reward Program for years. By encouraging external security researchers to report vulnerabilities of it’s own services, Google can fix these issues and push security patches to end users as quickly as possible.
Ever since Google started to credit security researchers in 2015, 360 Security teams have been the most active contributors, already reporting a cumulative amount of 372 vulnerabilities affecting Android devices and the Chrome browser.
