HACKING FOR GOOD

We start the new year of 2020 with great prospects. First of all, 2019 turned out to be a massive success for hacker-powered security. HackerOne paid out over $35,000,000 in bounties to hackers all over the world. These bounties are the thank-yous from nearly two thousand companies and government agencies for tens of thousands of valid vulnerability reports voluntarily submitted by willing and able security experts. There may be no more effective way of reducing cyber risk than coordinated vulnerability disclosure and bug bounties.
