They give security researchers rewards for reporting vulnerabilities properly. I hear their program is pretty decent compared to a lot of others. It only costs them about $3 million a year so it works out supper cheap for them too.

They also seem to keep a wall of fame for bug hunters.

Facebook give out a minimum of $500 for bugs and issues they deem worthy of rewarding. Last year they paid more than $880,000, and as of January this year they had paid a total amount of $6,300,000 to the people participating in their white hat program.
