It was announced that $6.5 million, or about 46.4 rupees, had been paid to ensure the security of the Internet. As part of VRPs, hackers are hired to find flaws and errors in Google products, including ensuring the security of end users.

"since 2010, we have expanded our VRP to cover more areas of Google products, including Chrome, Android and recent abuses. We have also extended to popular third-party apps on GooglePlay to help identify and disclose vulnerabilities of affected app developers. Since then, we have paid more than $21 million in rewards," Google said in an official blog post. Google also claimed that its researchers "donated a record $500000 to charity. As for awards, Google said it had raised the maximum baseline award for Chrome from $5000 to $15000 and the maximum award for high-quality reports from $15000 to $30,000." The company added: "the bonus for bug found by Fuzzier, which runs under Chrome Fuzzer, has doubled to $1000. For Android security rewards, Google now provides $1 million for full-chain remote code execution development and persistence, undermining the Titan M security element on Pixel devices. The Titan M chip found in the new Pixel device is an enterprise-class security chip tailored for Google smartphones to protect data and operating systems on the most sensitive devices. Titan M has been marked as the "strongest" of all the built-in security components of all evaluation devices. Google also announced that it will give further rewards to those who can "hack" or point out defects in the Android version. In addition, as part of Google's game security incentive program, experts can now report security problems with any application that has been installed more than 100 million times.
