Hack the Pentagon: White hats ανακάλυψαν πάνω από 100 τρωτά σημεία στις υποδομές του Πενταγώνου στο πλαίσιο ενός προγράμματος bug bounty.
In the Hack the Pentagon bug bounty took part around 1.400 hackers. The program distributed 14.000 dollars for revealing various vulnerabilities.
The minister Defenseof USA Ashton Carter said at the Defense One conference held in Washington DC on Friday that the bug bounty has reduced the cost of discovering vulnerabilities.
"They help us be safer at a lower cost," Carter said.
So, as the Pentagon seems to have managed with little money to further enhance its digital defenses and national security in general.
Hackers of bugs had to be checked before they were allowed to violate Pentagon systems, and particularly sensitive segments were left out of bug bounty.
Carter also revealed in a speech that the Pentagon will seek to monitor top IT in information security and give top positions to the army.
