Per Twitter user (and newly minted MileagePlus millionaire) @psifertex, United Airlines appears to be making good on its promise to award users for submitting security bugs.United issued 1,000,000 miles to at least one lucky bug submitter.As a reminder, you can earn between 50,000 and 1,000,000 miles for submitting bugs. Miles are awarded according to the following criteria:Low (50,000 miles)Cross-site scriptingCross-site request forgeryThird-party issues that affect UnitedMedium (250,000 miles)Authentication bypassBrute-force attacksPotential for personally identifiable information (PII) disclosureTiming attacksHigh (1,000,000 miles)Remote code executionWe have seen reports from members who have submitted legitimate bugs without receiving a response from United, but it appears that the airline may just be slowly working through a backlog. If you’ve submitted a bug for consideration, don’t give up hope just yet.Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
