The company says it mistakenly sent a security engineer $250,000.Sam Curry, a self-described hacker, says he was mysteriously paid $249,999.
"It's been a little over 3 weeks since Google randomly sent me $249,999 and I still haven't heard anything on the support ticket. Is there any way we could get in touch @Google,"A staff security engineer at Yuga Labs, Curry told NPR that he sometimes does bug bounty hunting for companies including Google. That's when people are paid to help firms and other organizations find vulnerabilities in their software.
But he says he was unable to figure out a link between bug bounty hunting for Google and the sum dumped into his bank account. The money was available for Curry to spend, but he said he was simply holding onto it in case Google tried to get it back. He said if Google took too long to get back to him, he might have to move the cash into a separate account to avoid paying taxes on it.In a statement to NPR, a Google spokesperson said:"Our team recently made a payment to the wrong party as the result of human error.
And Google is so worried about my security Give back up numbers It's a big world and Google can't have everything under Google Play.
'... he might have to move the cash into a separate account to avoid paying taxes on it.' 🙄
It’s a cover up 😂
We all know why he was paid. Stop creating drama.
