Bugcrowd Security by Marcus Henry

Maybe you’ve always wanted to hack a company. How many people can say they’ve gotten past Netflix’s security? Not many. Or maybe you know someone who needs a secure website because of private data. If either of those applies to you, check out Bugcrowd at https://www.bugcrowd.com/. Seriously. I can wait.

If the former applies to you, consider looking at the programs section of their webpage. You can sign in and actually join one of those projects. You shouldn’t start right off trying to hack into Netflix, Amazon, or another major company. But you can work your way up, and when you do, you can earn up to $15,000 for a major bug! Excited yet? If not, I’ll say it again. 15,000 DOLLARS! You also may be wondering, is this for real? You can actually hack websites and get paid for it? It’s true. Bugcrowd is a white-hat hacking program, sometimes called bug bounty hunting. Hackers hack into websites, then report what they did and how they got in to the company. The company then fixes the bug, and black-hat hackers get shut out. Then, the white-hat hacker gets paid.

Maybe the latter of what I said earlier applies to you. Starting a website for your business or know someone who is? Try Bugcrowd. I’m personally not sure how, but you should be able to get their help. Of course, they wouldn’t be cheap. So unless you really need them, I wouldn’t recommend it. But you should definitely look into it.

So, are you interested in making a decent amount of money? Do you have any background in hacking? (I honestly hope not) Then check out Bugcrowd.
