Nintendo offering bounties for 3DS system exploit discovery

>

Nintendo’s goal is to provide a secure environment for our customers so that they can enjoy our games and services. In order to achieve this goal, Nintendo is interested in receiving vulnerability information that researchers may discover regarding Nintendo’s platforms. Currently, in the context of the HackerOne program, Nintendo is only interested in vulnerability information regarding the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems and is not seeking vulnerability information regarding other Nintendo platforms, network service, or server-related information.

>Nintendo will pay rewards to the first reporter of qualifying vulnerability information ranging from $100 USD to $20,000 USD. Only one reward per qualifying piece of vulnerability information will be awarded. Nintendo will determine at its discretion whether the vulnerability information qualifies for a reward as well as the amount of any such reward. Nintendo does not disclose how the reward amount is calculated. Vulnerability information that is already known to Nintendo or the public, for example, does not qualify for a reward. Rewards will not be issued to individuals who are on sanction lists, or who are in countries on sanction lists.

This isn't affected by piracy in any way, you greedy jewish fucks

>one of my friends will totally snitch
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT

brb gonna earn ez money

Couldn't the guy's working on the homebrew tools technically start making money off this?

Even if you had to sign an agreement, you could easily have another guy do it and split the profits.

>greedy
>want the money they worked for

I'm not saying I don't pirate software, but stop deluding yourself. Pirates are the "greedy fucks".

>based Nintendo
>Offers reward for showing vulnerabilities instead of punishment like most other companies.

This is how you business people.

inb4 poorfags bitch about this until they're blue in the face, get a fucking job you lazy cunts.

Except if you're buying third party games, they haven't worked for it, and it's not like they put effort into their own games, either.

But they do punish? They ban wave whenever they can, but they're so incompetent that they leave backdoors open everywhere so they can't even tell who's using a hacked console and who isn't.

>(You)

I meant the people who report the vulnerabilities, not the people who use them.

Why would they punish someone for reporting vulnerabilities? Why would anyone report anything if they were punished for it? How much nintendick do you suck?

Why not just fucking google it rather than paying people a shitton of money for it?
Hacking a 3DS is incredibly fucking easy, and it's not like the information is super hidden or anything.

>hehe i replied to him but i didnt really xD
Not an argument, Redditor.

It happens constantly.

But you just follow a guide, it doesn't really go into detail about how it works.

But you're right, they should just hire a couple of security guys to figure it out, it wouldn't take them more than a month

reading is hard

>Nintendo will determine at its discretion whether the vulnerability information qualifies for a reward as well as the amount of any such reward

Why would anyone submit anything when they could just claim it's not beneficial and screw you out of a reward?

>Hacking a 3DS is incredibly fucking easy

No it's actually pretty fucking hard. Using scripts and information someone else has already made or written is incredibly fucking easy.

You discuss the impacts of the vulnerability, what it's capable of doing, proof it works and estimate financial loss if you were to release it. Then discuss how much they'll give you to keep that from happening.

Play it smart, you'll get your money.

>Nintendo Bounty Hunters are an actual thing now

the big question is why now instead of 3 years ago

Are you kidding me with this retard post of yours?

damn i wish i wasn't on Israel's sanction list shit sucks broskis

To be fair, hacking their systems has become like, second nature. And they're probably tired of it.

Thank god I have my decoy system.

my 3ds broke because it was made out of cheap shitty plastic.

This would normally be fine, but all of the ~$200 E-Shop games i had purchased stay linked to the system that is now broken, and there is no way for me to redownload them on a New 3ds.

This is why i am going to hack my 3ds and get freeshop.
I'm not being greedy, i'm downloading the games i damn well paid for.

There is literally nothing wrong with making pirating the games you already paid for.
People do it all the time.
For some reason it's only nintendrones that get asshurt about it.

none of my ds' have ever broken ever
they're typically very durable

>it works on my pc

> Nintendo will determine at its discretion whether the vulnerability information qualifies for a reward as well as the amount of any such reward.

They won't actually pay anyone. If people complain they'll just "refuse to comment" like they always do.

Yeah I know
>report vulenrnabilty to Nintendo
>if it's small they'll just say "we knew that already" and not give you money
>if it's really big or they're feeling generous or hope they can shut you up while they fix it, they'll give you the 100

>20,000
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Rewards will not be issued to individuals who are on sanction lists, or who are in countries on sanction lists.

Why are the Japanese such idiots?

>We are honorable. We make decision, and we stand by decision until death. We designate man as bad man, and we will never accept anything from him.

oh no theyll accept from them, just not pay them
