The company received a total of 15,000 vulnerability reports, but paid monetary rewards for only 1,300 of them, to security researchers from over 60 countries. The average bounty reward was of more than $1,500, Facebook says.

For comparison, the social platform paid more than $1.1 million for over 700 valid reports submitted to its bug bounty program in 2018, and more than $880,000 for over 400 valid reports in 2017. Since 2011, the company awarded researchers a total of more than $9.8 million in bug bounties.
Last year, Facebook also made over $35,000 in matching donations to charities in those instances where the security researchers opted to direct their bug bounty rewards to various causes.
