BugBounty Rewards Hackers

The battle between developers and hackers is as old as the internet itself. Thus, BugBounty.co.id was founded to facilitate hackers who want to show off their skills in designing the best IT protection system. Developers will reward hackers who can show them the bug that exists in their system.

Hackers don’t always hack to steal or intervene something, but we must be prepared for the worst scenario. One thing for sure, if there’s bug in the system, the developers didn’t do their job well. BugBounty’s Founding team are aware of that, thus they want to allocate hackers’ exceptional hacking skills into something good.

This is a good opportunity for developers to test their system. BugBounty guarantees that every single leak or bug found within the process will be a confidential secret between the hackers and developers.

The hackers will also get the benefits. Their work on finding the bugs won’t be a waste since they get awarded by the developers, as long as the bug meet the requirements and can be validated.

BugBounty is still in beta phase right now. As a sample to its services, BugBounty challenges hackers to find bugs in their system and will reward those who do with attractive rewards, like reputation point and free verified membership. This indicates that the platform will implement the business model which verifies users at certain price.

BugBounty would be the first bug reporting platform in Indonesia. Considering that Indonesian hackers are highly competent, the developers must be even more creative and competent in developing their system. This may lead to the production of reliable human resources in the future.
