Microsoft is looking to target new speculative execution side channel vulnerabilities – similar to Spectre and Meltdown – with a new bug bounty program.

In the wake of the Meltdown and Spectre flaws, Microsoft has rolled out a new bug bounty program targeting speculative execution side channel vulnerabilities.

The limited time program is open until December  31, and offers up to $250,000 for identifying new categories of speculative execution attacks that Microsoft and other industry partners are not yet aware of.
