The Bugcrowd Hacker community has grown by 71% since last year's report to over 65,000 members from more than 100 countries, with a wide range of technologies and expertise represented. The majority of bug hunters are young, determined individuals motivated by the challenge and eager to develop their skills. Many researchers hold regular jobs but aspire to become full-time bug hunters. Bug bounty programs have become more complex, requiring careful consideration of variables such as scope, program type, reward ranges, and public disclosure policy. Bugcrowd's Researcher Success team helps ensure a high-quality community by building relationships, providing tools and education, and managing incidents, ultimately creating a happy and engaged hacker community.
