Office Insiders on Windows are being called into action to improve Microsoft Office. The MSRC Team posted an announcement today that they have launched a newBug Bounty Program. This initiative is an attempt to get Office Insiders involved in developing a more secure and efficient Office, similar to other programs before it.

Inside the Bug Bounty Program, users will be able to hunt down bugs in early access Office builds and get awarded rather large sums of payout. In fact, Microsoft is offering qualifying contributions a minimum of $500 up to $15,000 USD. It even seems like a competition in some regards considering Microsoft will be awarding the bounty to the first eligible submission received.

What qualifies as an “eligible submission”? Microsoft has conveniently listed that off for us:

The Bug Bounty Program will only run for three months, as of yesterday to June 15. If you’re interested in becoming involved, check out thefull FAQand read theprogram’s termson Technet.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
