Nearly 300 hackers compete behind their computers during the ethical hacking annual contest Insomni’hack in Geneva.This approach is not just for the private sector. The United States government launched its first bug bounty in 2016, known as “Hack the Pentagon.” In May 2022, Quebec took to the French platform YesWeHack to offer rewards ranging from $50 to $3,000, depending on the severity of the issues participants identified.
It’s like solving a puzzle, according to De Ceukelaire, who collected his first bounty from Google as a teen. Imagine a venue where concert tickets are on sale for $250 and $500. A hacker might try to order two of the former and negative one of the latter, hoping to be charged zero. This is the sort of scam a human can easily suss out. A computer can sell many more tickets, but is not blessed with that intuition; it’s “just a clever calculator,” De Ceukelaire said. Prohibited actions have to be explicitly ruled out, and hackers are on the lookout for oversights.
