economics of bug hunting

[Paul Vixie <vixie () isc org>]

 "You can get paid a lot more than $5,000 for one of those [IE/Win] bugs,"
 says Miller, "I've talked to a lot of smart, knowledgeable people and no
 one knows exactly how he [Nils] did it. He could easily get $50,000 for
 that vulnerability. I'd say $50,000 is a low-end price point."
