Microsoft pays $2.3M for cloud and AI flaws at Zero Day Quest

Microsoft has awarded $2.3 million to security researchers after receiving nearly 700 submissions during this year’s Zero Day Quest hacking contest.

Tom Gallagher, Vice President of Engineering at Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), said that over 80 flaws found during the live event at Microsoft’s Redmond campus were high-impact cloud and AI security vulnerabilities.

“During the 2026 live hacking event, Microsoft partnered with the global security research community, representing more than 20 countries and a wide range of professional backgrounds, from high school students to college professors,” Gallagher said.
