Can you hack a website?
If so, you could actually make money hacking some of the biggest companies in the world.
And you’d be doing it all legally!
Until just a few years ago, almost everyone associated the word “hacker” with people with malicious intents.
But these days a new breed of hackers known as “White Hat Hackers” are actually being compensated for hacking companies.
Companies have learned that the best defense against bad hackers is to hire good hackers to find vulnerabilities in the system before the criminals do.
An example of that is Facebook which pays you $500 for hacking it!
It used to be that companies would reach out to hackers and hire them to hunt for these vulnerabilities.
But companies like BugCrowd are changing that.
And if you ever wanted to make money as a “White Hat” hacker, here is your chance.
Getting paid for hacking companies legally
Basically, it all comes down to this:Be the first one to find a bug in a company’s platform/website, report it and get paid.
It really is as simple as that!
Companies like BugCrowd – also known as Bug Bounty Platforms – are essentially the middleman between big corporations and legal hackers.
Major companies like Alibaba, AT&T, DirectTV and others sign up with these platforms. They then explain what the want and the reward they are willing to award to hackers who can find vulnerabilities in their system.
You (the hacker), on the other hand, sign up, browse the list of available Bug Bounty programs and pursue the ones you find interesting.
If you manage to find bugs, you report it through the system and if it turns out to be a real bug and you are the first to report it, you’ll get paid.
Example companies that reward hackers
Almost all major companies have some sort of bug bounty program where they pay hackers to find and report vulnerabilities in their system.Here are a few examples of companies and the amount they pay for finding bugs in their program:
- Pinterest: $50 – $1,500 per Bug
- Dropbox: $216 – $4,913 per Bug
- Jet.com: $25 – $2,500 per Bug
- Western Union: $100 – $5,000 per Bug
- CARD.com: $50 – $500 per Bug
- Tesla: $10,000 per bug
You can find more of them by signing up for the bug bounty platforms we listed below.
