Fiat Chrysler is turning to weekend car tinkerers and good-guy hackers to expose software vulnerability in its cars and trucks. FCA will offer the bounty on the Bugcrowd platform. Fiat Chrysler says that depending on the nature of the problems, it may make the findings public to benefit others. The Italian-American automaker is offering a bounty of $150 to $1,500 to people who spot software bugs and report them so they can be fixed. The hack touched off the recall of 1.4 million vehicles made by FCA including Cherokees in order to patch software holes.
