The case of leakage of user data into Cambridge Analytica makes Facebook dizzy seven around. CEO Mark Zuckerberg back and forth called the US congress. The privacy issue was not finished yet, because there are still other third parties who tapped the data.

Therefore, rather than tired just trying to own, Facebook took the initiative to make a contest, inviting the public to hunt down the data leaked users. This contest program is titled "Data Abuse Bounty" and was announced this week.

The mechanism is similar to the "Bug Bounty" program that is already running. The difference, which is used as the object of hunting is not a security hole (bug program), but the parties who deliberately misuse Facebook user data.

Tantalizing rewards in the form of money was prepared for those who managed to catch the data leak. The amount is between 500 US dollars (USD 6.9 million) to reach 40,000 US dollars (Rp 548 million), depending on the severity of data leak found.

This program will help us find data alterations unrelated to security holes, as well as show where there are cases like Cambridge Analytica, so we can know and take action, "said Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos.

Facebook data leaker hunting program is somewhat unique, because it was first held. Unlike the case with bounty bugs that are commonplace and commonly held by technology companies.

There are a number of requirements for qualified data leak findings, including having to involve at least 10,000 Facebook users, and their presence unknown to the user.
