Envisioning Lucrative Future Connecting Hackers and Companies

San Francisco startup HackerOne wants to connect problem-solving hackers with companies that have cybersecurity issues. They hope to convince other hackers to behave responsibly regarding security flaws in the process. Tech companies such as Square, Twitter and Yahoo as well as banks and oil companies are currently working with the service. “HackerOne gets a 20 percent commission on top of each bounty paid through its service,” reports The New York Times. “About 1,500 hackers are on HackerOne’s platform. They have fixed around 9,000 bugs and received more than $3 million in bounties.”
