The Defense Department has launched a new program to provide legal authorization for hackers to find and disclose vulnerabilities in any of DOD’s public websites.
The Pentagon announcement coincides with the official kickoff of the “Hack the Army” program, which is modeled on the “Hack the Pentagon” bug bounty program that took place earlier this year.
The vulnerability policy stipulates that DOD will deal in good faith with hackers as long as they adhere to a set of guidelines.
