It seems like companies all over didn’t want to pay for the proper security to their systems and ignore recommendations from cybersecurity specialists, because it would cost them too much money and they didn’t think that the threat of bugs infiltrating their systems was a big deal. It wasn’t until a lawmaker urged them to reconsider, that companies found out that the bugs infesting their hardware was rampant and so they started hiring bug bounties to find any bug in their system for a profit. Their finding actually surprised me, as I thought that bug bounties for smaller companies would cost them more for a little gain. But as it turns out, the smaller companies benefited just enough to justify the bug bounty after all. This is because the original speculation was that smaller companies wouldn’t have nearly as many bugs to deal with due to them not being as big as some of the other companies. In other words they thought that the smaller companies didn’t have as much money as the larger companies, so they thought that the amount of people trying to infiltrate their systems with bugs wouldn’t nearly enough to justify a bug bounty, but apparently it did.
