Hackers Wanted: Hack the Army & Pentagon!

Hackers we have big news from our partners at the Pentagon! The DoD is announcing their Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and registration is open to sign up for the opportunity to hack the U.S. Army!

The DoD Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

Today the U.S. Department of Defense announced the DoD’s new Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP) — outlining a legal avenue for any hacker to disclose vulnerabilities in any DoD public-facing systems. This policy is a first of its kind for the U.S. Government. With DoD’s new vulnerability disclosure policy, hackers have clear guidance on how to legally test for and disclose vulnerabilities in DoD’s websites outside of bug bounty challenges. This new initiative underscores DoD’s commitment to working in partnership with the hacker community to improve security.

Starting today, hackers who become aware of vulnerabilities can disclose them to DoD on HackerOne. For specifics on the new vulnerability disclosure policy, check out: hackerone.com/DeptOfDefense. The DoD’s vulnerability disclosure policy does not include bounty rewards, but we're also thrilled to announce that registration is now open for Hack the Army!

Registration is now open for Hack the Army bug bounty challenge. Announced on November 11 by Secretary of the Army, Eric Fanning, Hackers can register now for a chance to be one of the hackers invited to hack the largest branch of the U.S. military.
