PENTAGON: Excited by the success of April’s Hack The Pentagon contest, the Defense Department will allow so-called white hat hackers to test all its unclassified public websites.
First, a new policy released today encourages anyone to look for weaknesses in any public DoD site, as long as they report what they find. Then, for a select subset of hackers and sites, “bug bounty” programs go further by offering cash rewards to registered hackers for finding problems in selected sites. The bigger the problem, the bigger the payout, with Hack The Pentagon going as high as $15,000 and the forthcoming Hack The Army likely to go higher.
