Enlarge / Artist's conception of hackers lining up for these new bug bounties. Last week, we took a look at the new Vanguard anti-cheat system being used in Riot's Valorant and the potential security risks of the kernel-level driver it utilizes. Now, in an effort to allow "players to continue to play our games with peace of mind," Riot says it is "putting our money where our mouth is" with an expanded bug bounty program, offering more money for the discovery of Vanguard vulnerabilities. Bug bounties aren't new to the gaming industry or even to Riot Games, which says it has paid out nearly $2 million in such rewards since launching its bounty program in 2016.
