Tokyo, Japan - November 2, 2015 - LINE Corporation, announced the results of its LINE Bug Bounty Program, which was held from August 24 to September 23, 2015 and offered rewards to users who reported vulnerabilities they discovered in the iPhone and Android versions of the LINE app.

LINE already implements stringent security measures, such as testing the security of new releases via a dedicated security team and engaging internal and external experts to address potential application vulnerabilities. With the addition of the user-reported LINE Bug Bounty Program, LINE aims to provide an even more safe and secure user experience.
