Some good money to be made there if you have the smarts and the know how, something I'm lacking in ;D

My guess is that it wouldn't be quite so easy, just reporting something as a bug probably isn't going to be enough. You would probably have to give detailed information on the bug and how to replicate it so they could find and squash the bug.

Yup, me too. :-\
If I had that kind of knowledge I'd be making big bucks as "Techy" ;) ::)

I believed Comodo has or had something like this, but it is/was paying $ 10.000 to find a hole. However Melih is a bit eccentric.
