A security research company is offering $20,000 for information on undisclosed security flaws in Microsoft's Windows OS.

Digital Armaments, which doesn't list a phone number or a headquarters address on its Web site, is offering the money as part of the "Hacker's Challenge" through midnight EST, Feb. 29. The company is also soliciting for flaws in what they term "Windows Diffuse Applications."
