Five hours after Mozilla officially released Firefox 3.0, researchers found a vulnerability in the new browser.
Tipping Point has verified the bug and reported it to Mozilla, Tipping Point said on Wednesday.
Here's the story. And why was this discovered so quickly?
Tipping Point found out about the vulnerability through its Zero Day Initiative, which lets researchers earn cash by submitting new vulnerabilities to the company. Once Tipping Point validates the issue, it pays the researcher for the information and notifies the relevant software vendor of the technical details.
Chalk another one up for private economic incentives.
