The obvious solution to this is to not seek the bug bounty. The next time a critical security vulnerability is found, sell it to the highest bidder. I'm sure there are black hats out there willing to pay the money that the megacorp refuses to pay out.

That is essentially the behavior AMD is incentivizing here.
