Wonder if anyone will manage to get this money........If the Chrome bounty hunters would've known about his big prize I'm sure they've thought 3 time before reporting any vulnerability;D
Nevertheless the bug/vulnerability program and the rapid release schedule seem to be working great for Google.....
Eiter way this is a great marketing campaign......... All the news reports will be floated with this?What's next....Install Chrome of course!

The 60k prize would be very surprising. It would mean that they escaped chrome's sandbox with Chrome's code - not any of Windows integrity code. I doubt anyone will get that.

20k prizes/ 40k prizes look easy enough.

Google Chrome is likely the one who survive from the contest even before due to the strong security capabilities and since its a huge amount of reward then on this moment they are now figuring how it will be Pwned.
