Hackers have earned $300 million in all-time rewards from HackerOne through its bug bounty program.
The company, which pairs organizations with a community of ethical hackers who look for vulnerabilities in their software, announced the milestone this week. The company noted that 30 hackers have earned over $1million for their submissions, while one has earned more than $4 million for their bug reports.
The news comes alongside the company’s 2023 Hacker-Powered Security Report, which notes that 55% of hackers think generative AI will become a top target in the coming years.
"Organizations are under pressure to adopt GenAI to stay ahead of competitors, which, in turn, is transforming the threat landscape. If you want to remain proactive about new threats, you need to learn from the experts in the trenches: hackers," said Chris Evans, HackerOne CISO and Chief Hacking Officer. "The Hacker-Powered Security Report makes clear that hackers are actively growing their skillsets to meet emerging threats. The versatility of hackers and the impact of the vulnerabilities they surface make them instrumental to how our customers anticipate and address risk.”
Google recently expanded its own bug bounty program to include generative AI.
Hackers on the platform are also particularly interested in crypto and blockchain organizations, in part because they offer the highest overall rewards for hackers. This year’s top payout from the space was $100,050.
While the group noted that AI is a growing threat, hackers also plan to use AI more in their day-to-day lives. Sixty-one percent of respondents said they would use and develop hacking tools from GenAI to help them find more vulnerabilities, and 62% said they plan to specialize in the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) top 10 for Large Language Models. The group also said they plan to use AI going forward to help them write better reports and code as well as to reduce language barriers.
HackerOne’s security report (PDF) surveyed its customers as well as 2,000 hackers on the platform and was compiled between June 2022 and September 2023.

With another new weekend comes another fresh batch of streaming recommendations, so you can sit back, kick your feet up, and be safe in the knowledge that there's no shortage of movies and TV shows to watch.
Embracer Group has said it has laid off 904 staff, or 5% of its workforce, since its financial struggles began following the collapse of a $2 billion deal, reportedly with Saudi government funded company Savvy Games Group.
Alongside the recent announcement of the Nintendo Switch release for Core Keeper, developer Pugstorm has announced that the game will also be making its way on to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in summer 2024.
This week’s TV premieres are all heavy hitters — some more literally than others (Godzilla is pretty much always at fighting weight, and a total knockout at that). But suffice it to say that while everything else might be looking ahead to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, television is bringing its A game.
Apple intends to release more 3nm chipsets after the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, with the next version being the company’s most powerful, the M3 Ultra. Though a previous report stated that the desktop-based Apple Silicon has not gone into broader testing, it could feature up to an 80-core GPU, which is the highest number that the technology giant has ever used for its custom chipsets. Unfortunately, compared to the M2 Ultra, the GPU cores difference is not that much.
After a career spanning more than 32 years and just about every game Blizzard ever made, senior art director Samwise Didier is calling it quits. Didier announced on Twitter that he is retiring, and that today is his last day at his «beloved Blizzard Entertainment.»
In early 2022, Valve released my favorite video game console. But even I had some gripes. With the Steam Deck, I could — for the first time — play the bulk of my sprawling collection of video games wherever I’d like. But I tended to bundle it with a huge portable power supply. I also couldn’t quite shirk how much better games looked on our family’s OLED TV.
The search for the Diablo 4 cow level is much more than a cowspiracy (apologies) at this point. IGN spoke to the game's production developer Tiffany Wat, and associate game director Joe Piepiora at BlizzCon 2023 where hints were dropped, adding more fuel to the fire. It's not much to go on, but Wat may have hinted that players are heading in the right direction: «I will say, however, if people have picked up any items from their cow campaigns… cow slay-age campaign… they should hang on to them.»
People who play videogames want "new content literally almost every single day", according to Blizzard president Mike Ybarra - indeed, "they want new stuff every day, every hour". I do not want new stuff every day, every hour, Mike. Frankly, the idea makes me want to burn my possessions and go spend the rest of my life under a pine tree.
BlizzCon 2023 has just seen the reveal of the next three World of Warcraft expansions, under the banner of the Worldsoul Saga.
