Via heise Security News.

Security services provider iDefense is offering a reward of 8,000 dollars for vulnerabilities in Windows Vista or Internet Explorer 7 that can be exploited via the internet. There is an additional award of up to 4,000 dollars for functioning demo code.

This is significantly less than the price currently being offered for such exploits in underground auctions - Trend Micro recently reported that Vista exploits were going under the hammer for up to 50,000 US dollars.
