Within the world of technology, those who create new programs and software solutions put their products through rigorous tests before releasing them to the public.
But times have changed. Now, technology companies have improved their capabilities to such an extent that they challenge users to detect bugs in their programs and they pay them for it.
And there are many instances of companies doling out millions of dollars under such schemes, which are popularly called “bug bounty programs.”
The latest to join this trend is the Tor Project, which has roped in HackerOne as its partner in this endeavor.
Together, they’re prepared to reward the users of Tor (The Onion Router), if they can find out deficiencies in the browser.
