Auto industry turns to 'bug bounties' to find security holes

General Motors has had an internal "Collaborative Disclosures" program running since January to interact with software researchers, or "white hat" hackers, and could soon expand the program to offer financial rewards or incentives for finding vulnerabilities before they create problems.
