What is a bug bounty program? What is Google VRP?

A Bug Bounty Program, in the IT industry, is a program that pays people to find mistakes or security loopholes in software or application. For example, if you find a problem with security in Facebook, and you let Facebook know, then Facebook will pay you some money to say, ‘Thank you!’ Most large companies today have a bug bounty program. 

Google's Bug bounty program is called Google VRP - Google Vulnerability Reward Program.
