The U.S. Department of Defense awarded prizes of over $30,000 to hackers in a bug bounty program. Around 80 white hat hackers from the US, India, Turkey, Ukraine, and Canada tried to find problems with government proxy servers. One US-based hacker snatched half of the available bounties, earning $16,000. One of the issues found was deemed critical, and nine classified as high severity. With its help, the government identified and fixed more than 10,000 vulnerabilities spread across its public and military infrastructure.”]
