Kaspersky increased the compensation paid to cybersecurity researchers who identify and report vulnerabilities in Kaspersky's products. The changes provided for a special bounty of $100,000 for a high-quality report with a Proof of Concept (PoC) that implements attacks on the communication channels within remote management services (configuration, update, etc.). These enable a man-in-the-middle attack, allowing an arbitrary code remote execution in high privilege antivirus processes. This marked the 20-fold increase in reward money.
