The company not only provides an incentive to researchers if they find a critical bug, but it also allows the researchers to legally try to penetrate the site, which might satisfy their desire to test out their skills. This also gives an opportunity to raise awareness for cyber security among the public. I hope more companies employ tactics like this in order to combat vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/yelps-new-bug-bounty-program-promises-15000-payouts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article talks about how Yelp is offering up to $15,000 in a new\u00a0&#8220;Bug Bounty&#8221; program for security researchers.
