Doubling Bug Bounty rewards

Nearly four years after its inception, the Bug Bounty program is significantly increasing its payout amounts, with minimum and maximum rewards now set at $555 and $20,000, respectively. This adjustment aims to align with top security bug bounty programs and coincides with the annual Hack the World competition by HackerOne, which encourages participants to identify security vulnerabilities. As a sponsor of the event, the program offers twice the reputation points on HackerOne for bugs found on GitHub until November 18th. Additionally, valid submissions during this period will receive free unlimited private repositories for life, though this offer is limited to reports filed by the competition's end date. Participants are encouraged to engage in the competition by submitting their reports to the Bug Bounty program and can find more information on the Hack the World website.
