    It's a little perplexing. Of course it's always a controversial topic since it's difficult to value an exploit, but whenever we read about these online, which probably goes through some survivorship bias, they seem pretty low.

    On <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;msrc&#x2F;bounty" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;msrc&#x2F;bounty it seems the top is $100,000 or $250,000 depending which program this counts under.

    What does HN think? Why would it be only $5000?
