Pornhub Launched Bug Bounty Program With $25,000 Reward

With all the wacky cyber bullies and attackers out there a lot of websites have started Bug Bounty Programs, and you know us at Pornhub, we like keeping up with the times – being part of the zeitgeist and what not – so we’ve set up our own reward system, in partnership with HackerOne, where we hand out some mullah to all the hackers who are able to identify bugs and data breaches on the Pornhub website.

It’s pretty simple, report a bug and get a reward. Hackers will be able to earn anywhere between $50 and $25,000 depending on the impact of vulnerability of the bug being reported.

As I write this, 23 reports have been solved and 8 hackers have been thanked. Pretty cool, huh?

I’ve wanted to be a hacker ever since I saw Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller turn in spectacular performances in the 1995 gem Hackers. Obviously, I didn’t want it bad enough to actually learn anything hacker-y, but the dream is still alive. Enough for me to say that I wish I could hack the shit out of Pornhub and earn myself some extra mullah.

How hard could it be? The only thing you have to do to earn some of the sweet reward money is:

• Be the first to report a security bug directly related to the company infrastructure.
• Send a description of your bug report, explaining the type of vulnerability and how it works.
• Include screenshots and proof of concept code to substantiate your claim.
• Disclose your finding directly and exclusively with Pornhub.

The company is currently considering serious flaws that could compromise its server and entire website.

Vulnerabilities such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF), information disclosure, cross domain leakage, XSS attacks via Post requests, HTTPS related (such as HSTS), HttpOnly and Secure cookie flags, missing SPF records and session timeout will not be considered for the bounty program.

Right. I don’t know what any of that means, so clearly it’s not as easy as pie, because I know pie and pie is easy. Although, if you’re a hacker, why would you need to actually earn money… couldn’t you just hack yourself a bigger bank account? That’s the first thing I would do, you know, after somehow engineering the U.S. election ensuring that Trump loses.
