Nobody who is readily capable of finding such a flaw --- which probably doesn't exist, but let's stipulate that it does --- would bid as little as $300 an hour for this work.
the idea of finding an fbi-sponsored, 10-year old backdoor in a notoriously secure operating system installed in many government and corporate networks around the world sounded pretty boring to me, but now that there's a whole hundred dollars on the line, i'll surely be working day and night to find it!
From the comments, it looks like it's up to around $3900 now.
If you knew of a flaw like this, you could probably get more than $300 for it.
It's time to break out my 7 monitor, swordfish hacking code and roll up my sleeves. I've got mouths to feed.
I realise that you are joking, but if you have seven monitors and can't feed your family your priorities need readjusting. :)
