Facebook dished out $1.5m to 330 researchers from across the world as part of its bug bounty programme last year. The average reward for fixing a bug in Facebook's code amounted to $2,204, and hackers from Russia and Brazil discovered Facebook's most critical security threats, confirmed the social network. Each submitted 38 and 53 bugs respectively and received $150,518 and $200,976 in rewards from Facebook.
