Poole announced it reward program to those who discover vulnerabilities in of the company a few hours ago. The new vulnerability disclosure program is powered by hackerone.

"We hope that by formally rewarding security researchers who report security-related errors, we will be better able to detect and address vulnerabilities that may affect the site and its users," Poole said.

"Security remains a constant and commitment to us. Thanks again for being with us, and sorry if we've disappointed you.”

The websites included in bug bounty are 4chan.org, 4channel.org, 4cdn.org and their subdomains.

The company explains that if vulnerabilities are detected in third-party services (CloudFlare or nginx), they should refer to those companies rather than 4chan. However, the company is willing to publish the names of those who find such defects in its Hall of Fame.

Currently, 4chan does not offer any rewards to . Those who disclose security holes will only be recognized in the company's Hall of Fame and will have a 4chan Pass valid for one year. The value of the 4chan Pass does not exceed 20 dollars.

The company's reward amount does not promise the arrival of large security researchers, as they prefer to deal with the vulnerabilities from companies that pay handsomely.

Security experts who may have questions about 4chan's new bug bounty program can email security at 4chan.org.
