You can earn money by just browsing the internet!
One of the crucial parties involved in ACESO is someone we call a Researcher. He/She is a user who provides samples of malware to the ACESO Market. Unlike malware analysts, researchers do not need to have any special skills or experience in the field or cybersecurity. This allows essentially anyone to participate, even if they are someone who just browses the Internet.
How will researchers provide samples?
ACESO will create a special platform which will allow researchers to submit various files and make system screenshots.
If a researcher encounters unusual behavior while browsing or after installing some kind of program, he/she will have the option of scanning their computers with specialized software and submitting the information onto the ACESO Market. Or they can simply send an infected file to ACESO.
That information will be checked, and it will be determined whether it is malware or not. If the submitted malware information matches a request for a fix, the researcher will receive a reward. This means that researchers can earn money by simply browsing the Internet and installing programs.
It should be noted that we do not encourage purposely infecting your computer if you are not completely sure about what you are doing. Rather, if you do come across a malware sample or malicious behaviour accidentally, or install some questionable software, you should submit it. If your submitted information is used to successfully fulfil a request for a fix, you will get your part of the reward.
Will all samples be rewarded?
ACESO will not reward all samples submitted to the Market. Researchers can continually submit malware samples and system screenshots, but not all will earn them tokens. The submitted malware sample has to match a request.
In other words, if an end user has requested a fix for a malware whose sample you have submitted, you will get 30% of the user’s offered reward.
However, the more samples you submit, the better the chances of providing a sample matching a request you have. And if you are someone who frequents high-risk websites or often encounters malware, you can work that to your advantage. But again, unless you are sure about what you are doing, do not purposely infect your computer!
