"Microsoft's "BlueHat Prize," announced by the company at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas Wednesday, offers a grand prize of $200,000, a runner-up purse of $50,000, and a third-place award of a one-year subscription to MSDN Universal--a developer's platform for Microsoft products--worth $10,000--to security researchers who design the most effective ways to prevent the use of memory safety vulnerabilities. Those kinds of vulnerabilities can create problems like buffer overflows that can be exploited by Net miscreants to compromise computers."
