Former Uber CISO Joseph Sullivan was found guilty of felonies for hiding negotiations made with hackers during a data breach under the guise of a bug bounty program, setting a precedent for criminal prosecution in data breach cases.
Bug bounty programs, utilized by tech giants and startups, incentivize ethical hackers to identify security weaknesses and vulnerabilities which have proven highly effective, with companies like Google and Apple benefiting significantly from bug bounty-related security researchers.
Bug bounty programs have specific ground rules that dictate the scope of testing allowed, guiding participants on what systems and services can be tested, ensuring a controlled and ethical process in identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities.
