Google's open-source bug bounty aims to clamp down on supply chain attacks - The Verge

Image
Google has introduced a new vulnerability rewards program to pay researchers who find security flaws in its open-source software or in the building blocks that its software is built on. It'll pay anywhere from $101 to $31,337 for information about bugs in projects like Angular, GoLang, and Fuchsia or for vulnerabilities in the third-party dependencies that are included in those projects' codebases. While it's important for Google to fix bugs in its own projects (and in the software that it uses to keep track of changes to its code, which the program also covers), perhaps the most interesting part is the bit about third-party dependencies. Programmers often use code from open-source projects so they don't continuously have to reinvent the same wheel. But since developers often directly import that code, as well as any updates to it, that introduces the possibility of supply chain attacks. That's when hackers don't target the code directly controlled by Google i

When compared to pests like cockroaches or flies, fleas are not an everyday nuisance that pest management professionals (PMPs) deal with. The 2021 PCT "State of the Flea Control Market Report" showed an average yearly revenue of just under $21,000, and only 23 percent of survey respondents said that flea control was important or very important. That doesn't mean fleas aren't a pest to be aware of or that it shouldn't be in your service offerings. Fleas need to be looked at a little differently because of their life cycle, hosts and habitats. If you think of fleas like cockroaches or rodents, the typical integrated pest management (IPM) tactics are not going to be effective. The closest pest relative to compare fleas to might be mosquitoes. It may sound like a bad joke, "why is a flea like a mosquito," but there are a lot of similarities. Thinking about them together can lead to effective control measures. HABITAT. Fleas have an interesting life cycle. L
