Internet Explorer 11 will be included in the upcoming Windows 8.1 Preview, so in order to make sure that it’s going to be a truly secure browser, the company is preparing a new security bounty program.

Basically, the tech giant will pay up to $11,000 (€8,300) for every security vulnerability you find in Internet Explorer 11 Preview, with the new campaign to be started on June 26.

“The entry period for this program will be the first 30 days of the Internet Explorer 11 beta period (June 26 to July 26, 2013). Learning about critical vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer as early as possible during the public preview will help Microsoft make the newest version of the browser more secure,” Microsoft noted.

More details on the new program will be announced during the BUILD developer next week, when Internet Explorer 11 is also set to make its public debut.
