AI broke Bug bounty economics in 12 months #BugBounty #AI

AI broke the economics of bug bounties by industrializing discovery.

Apple's $2 million top bounty was priced for researchers spending weeks per flaw. Anthropic's Project Glasswing produced over 10,000 high or critical findings in its first month. Mozilla cleared 271 vulnerabilities from Firefox 150 before it shipped. The supply side moved from artisanal to industrial in roughly twelve months - and disclosure programs built for 30-50 submissions a year are now absorbing 300-500.

The defender and attacker sides are running on the same curve. Google confirmed the first criminal AI-developed zero-day in the wild this month - but the same speed that put it there is also clearing attack surfaces at scale before they reach users. When discovery economics compress this fast, the criminal business model built around scarce zero-days gets structurally cheaper to dislodge. The consumer software stack of the next decade is being seeded with a security baseline the prior era's discovery pace could never have produced.
