GTA V developers Rockstar Games are using hackers to find faults in their systems, paying out a minimum of $150 to anyone who can fill them in on a vulnerability.
If you’re a fan of Rockstar’s open-worlds, check out our list of the best sandbox games.
Depending on the severity of the issue, Rockstar may pay out more than the $150 base rate. In fact, at the time of writing, average payouts are $500. Over $90,000 has been paid out in total.
Here’s a list of the domains Rockstar are paying out for:
- www.rockstargames.com
- socialclub.rockstargames.com
- lifeinvader.com
- rockstarnorth.com
- prod.ros.rockstargames.com
- prod.conductor.ros.rockstargames.com
- prod.telemetry.ros.rockstargames.com
- prod.cloud.rockstargames.com
- prod.hosted.cloud.rockstargames.com
- media.rockstargames.com
- patches.rockstargames.com
There are some exclusions, however. DDoS attacks don’t count, because they’re generally just a bunch of plebs being plebs. You also have to not disclose the vulnerability to others before telling Rockstar.
