### AI overview

An early technical overview of WhatsApp's optional Scam Alert feature, which uses a small on-device machine learning model to classify potential scam messages while keeping message content on the device. The article explains how the design preserves end-to-end encryption through local processing, avoids automatic reporting, gives users control, and supports independent security review during a limited Beta rollout.

### Source excerpt

WhatsApp is committed to helping people stay safe while protecting the privacy of their messages. As scam tactics evolve -- from impersonation to social engineering to AI-generated lures -- we're always evolving as well, so that our protections stay ahead of scammers while protecting people's personal messages with end-to-end encryption.

### AI overview

A Rails team member reflects on the Internet Bug Bounty program, describing how AI-generated low-quality security reports overwhelmed the team and contributed to the program stopping new submissions and bounty payments. The change also removed incentives for legitimate researchers and left Rails handling payment-related questions.

### Source excerpt

For quite a few years the Rails project has been working with the Internet Bug Bounty (IBB). The IBB is an organization that awarded cash to security researchers that reported issues to OSS projects participating in the IBB. For quite a while I wasn't certain about my feelings toward the program because I felt like cash rewards could incentivize low quality reports as well as encourage reporters to "haggle" about the severity of a particular bug (the IBB paid more when the bug was more severe). In the beginning that certainly was the case. We were fielding many low quality reports, and people were haggling over severity. But the program evolved, and despite the never-ending haggling, I felt it did more good (rewarding security researchers) than bad (forcing the security team to wade through low quality reports). That is, until AI came along. Sometime in 2025 our team started getting inundated with low quality AI generated reports. I know for sure this wasn't unique to just our team as well. Anyway, AI lowered the barrier to generate reports, so we were back in the era of wading through low quality reports. Only this time, the low quality reports were masquerading as high quality reports. AI made it easy to turn a bullshit problem into something that looked legit, and since there's a possibility of money involved people tried to take advantage of the situation. We even had a report where someone forgot to delete the AI generated output and just uploaded the report as-is with the following text: ## ✅ READY TO SUBMIT! *All information prepared for professional Rails bug bounty submission.* *Expected Outcome:* Rails Team Response: 1-2 weeks Fix Development: 2-8 weeks Security Release: 8-12 weeks IBB Bounty: $1,040-1,600 (80% of $1,300-2,000) *Next Step:* Copy information above into HackerOne form and submit! I enjoy using AI, but I really don't like AI being used on me. But that's not what this post is about. Recently the IBB stopped accepting new submissions. In other

Google's 2025 Vulnerability Reward Program review marks its 15th anniversary and reports more than $17 million awarded to over 700 security researchers. It also describes a dedicated AI VRP, expanded Chrome rewards for AI-related issues, OSV-SCALIBR patch rewards, and security community events.

### Source excerpt

Posted by Dirk Göhmann, Tony Mendez, and the Vulnerability Rewards Program Team 2025 marked a special year in the history of vulnerability rewards and bug bounty programs at Google: our 15th anniversary 🎉🎉🎉! Originally started in 2010, our vulnerability reward program (VRP) has seen constant additions and expansions over the past decade and a half, clearly indicating the value the programs under this umbrella contribute to the safety and security of Google and its users, but also highlighting their acceptance by the external research community, without which such programs cannot function. Coming back to 2025 specifically, our VRP once again confirmed the ongoing value of engaging with the external security research community to make Google and its products safer. This was more evident than ever as we awarded over $17 million (an all-time high and more than 40% increase compared to 2024!) to over 700 researchers based in countries around the globe - across all of our programs. Vulnerability Reward Program 2025 in Numbers Want to learn more about who's reporting to the VRP? Check out our Leaderboard on the Google Bug Hunters site. VRP Highlights in 2025 In 2025 we made a series of changes and improvements to our VRP and related initiatives, and continued to invest in the security research community through a series of focused events: The new, dedicated AI VRP was launched, underscoring the importance of this space to Google and its relevance for external researchers. Previously organized as a part of the Abuse VRP, moving into a dedicated VRP has gone hand in hand with improvements to the rules, offering researchers more clarity on scope and reward amounts. Similarly, the Chrome VRP now also includes reward categories for problems found in AI features. We launched a patch rewards program for OSV-SCALIBR, Google's open source tool for finding vulnerabilities in software dependencies. Contributors are rewarded for providing novel OSV-SCALIBR plugins for inventory, vulne
