That makes the ride-sharing firm the latest tech giant to adopt the strategy of crowdsourcing the auditing of its code to shore it up against less benevolent hackers. Finding a bug that could deface Uber's homepage or expose users' email addresses earns $5,000, for instance, while one that could fully take over Uber accounts or run malicious code on an Uber production server can earn as much as $10,000."</div><div><br></div><div>Tip: Wired.com has lately begun punishing people using ad blockers in their browsers.
