Jeff Elder/BusinessInsiderTommy DeVoss did time in three federal penitentiaries for hacking, but last year he made $902,000 by helping companies find security vulnerabilities.
DeVoss made $101,000 on Friday "doing the same thing the government put me in prison for" – finding security glitches in a competition known as a "bug bounty" hackathon. His host was HackerOne, a San Francisco company that helps organizations including the US Defense Department find and fix critical vulnerabilities by giving hackers like DeVoss a platform where he can work. "Now I can still do what I love and get paid for it instead of going to prison.
Hacking "started in the darkest underbelly of the internet," HackerOne's report says, "now it's a professional calling." The company's research shows that 78% of hackers in their bug bounties use that experience to find and compete for jobs.
