Santiago Lopez, 19, is the first white hat hacker to surpass $1 million in bounty awards on the HackerOne platform. He started reporting security weaknesses to companies in 2015 when he was 16. Lopez is the all-time top-ranked hacker on HackerOne s leaderboard, out of more than 330,000 hackers competing for the top spot. The news comes as HackerOne releases its 2019 Hacker Report, which found that its ethical hacker community has doubled year-over-year. Participants earned $19 million in bounties in 2018, nearly matching the total bounties paid out in the previous six years combined.
