Facebook Pays Hackers to Hunt Down Security Issues

Facebook Pays Hackers to Hunt Down Security Issues
Facebook is recruiting not only developers and security experts but also Hackers into their program. maybe Its the First time you heard something like this. but who better know the holes in our security system than hackers ?. do you ever imagine a 950 million user platform can withstand without any bug issues ? So Facebook Hunts bugs with Hackers, Facebook Security team member Fred Wolens told  that "Facebook has offered rewards to hackers before, and has even hired quite a few high-profile hackers, but never this formally"


As we  go head to the Facebook's whitehat page we can see the notice which Facebook issued for Hacker to participate in this bug fixing program and also offers a minimum 500USD down payment for every participants . the one's going to find out more problem's will get more reward. that's a good way to find out things, that might help to sort out the problems and they might come across with new issues and bugs  developer team never take care off.


Just yesterday Twitter Faced a Bug issue and has blocked service for hours.its clear that Facebook wants sort out things before they happen and  Fred adds  that "We want make Facebook the web's safest environment"
