Bug Bounty Hunting
Bug bounty hunting is a cybersecurity practice where organizations incentivize individuals, often called ethical hackers or security researchers, to discover and report security vulnerabilities ("bugs") in their software, websites, or systems. As a practical application of computer science, these programs allow companies to crowdsource security testing, leveraging a global pool of talent to proactively identify and fix weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. In exchange for responsibly disclosing a valid flaw, the researcher receives recognition and a monetary reward, or "bounty," creating a collaborative approach to strengthening digital defenses.
