On Thursday, the US Department of Defense announced the launch of a
pilot bug-bounty program for the DOD's public-facing websites. Called
"Hack the Pentagon," the bounty program
will be managed by HackerOne, the disclosure-as-a-service company founded by Alex Rice and Michiel Prins.
Since Hack the Pentagon is a pilot, its budget and duration are
fairly modest by DOD standards. The Pentagon has budgeted $150,000 for
the monthlong bug hunt, which will begin on Monday, April 18 and end by
Thursday, May 12. Payouts for accepted bugs will come from HackerOne and
will be doled out by June 10.
