Both companies awarded Josip with a cash prize of $4274, and his name is on the list of "Hall of Fame" "Google" and "Whitehat" - list of "Facebook".
In November 2010, "Google" launched the program "Vulnerability Reward" in order to increase the level of security domains *. Google.com, *. Youtube.com *. Blogger.com and *. Orkut.com. People who reported an error in the security system that can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of user data "Google", will receive a cash prize and their name will stand on the list of "Hall of Fame" "Google".

"Facebook" program for upgrading safety began in mid-2011, and works on the same principle.
Speaking about his plans, Josip Franjkovikj said that Internet security web applications are his hobby and something he want to work. He hopes that in the future, will be employed in the security sector. Currently with colleagues from the university plans to establish a company that will offer testing services for web pages, finding bugs in security systems and developing websites.
