Hackers looking to make quick cash just got a new way to grease their bank accounts with the launch of HackerOne’s Internet Bug Bounty. Security high-hats from primary sponsors Microsoft and Facebook, along with volunteers from Etsy, Chrome and ISEC Partners calling themselves HackerOne today announced a bounty program trading cash for bugs in Open SSL, Python, Ruby, PHP, Rails, Perl and “the Internet,” among others. According to HackerOne’s Disclosure, the companies behind the program are not allowed special access or rights to the submitted bugs. Hackers can submit as anonymously as they prefer. Response Teams from affected companies and products are cautioned against taking punitive action against the hackers.
