Rockstar game just shared how much money they paid to hackers last year. This headline could be a great surprise for many, but really, Rockstar does indeed pay hackers that find problems and report them to the company instead of exploiting players.
As spotted by gta.com.uaRockstar Games posted a 2024 round on their official hackerone page. Hackerone is a website that allows anyone to report hacks they are able to achieve about the services of a company. Organizations offer monetary reward for the report, breeding steps and possible corrections.

In the case of Rockstar games, they pay as low as $ 150 but can go up to $ 25,000 depending on the severity of the bug. The most common level of severity is average with 51.42% of reports and paying $ 500 to $ 1000 each. So far Rockstar games have paid $ 393.150 in Haccrone since 2017.
