A month of bugs is a strategy used by security researchers to draw attention to the lax security procedures of commercial software corporations.

Researchers have started such a project for software products where they believe corporations have shown themselves to be unresponsive and uncooperative to security alerts. For example, when a company does not fix the error after a Responsible disclosure, one may find and disclose one security vulnerability each day for one month.
