A bunch of ethical hackers from a program called Government Bug Bounty found more than 30 vulnerabilities in Singapore government’s network system. The article mentions “The bug bounty program was organized by the Government Technology Agency (GovTech) and Cyber Security Agency (CSA) in partnership with HackerOne, a popular bug bounty platform. HackerOne helps organizations find and fix the potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. The new bug bounty program is part of the Singapore government’s ongoing commitment to protect its citizens and secure government network systems. The hacking challenge will offer a monetary reward to the hackers for discovering and reporting potential vulnerabilities.”
What I found really interesting was the following:
“The Government has paid out S$25,950 in bounties for discovering 31 vulnerabilities, in which four were considered as High Severity and the remaining 27 were considered as medium/low severity.”
Singapore government has this really cool program which collaborates with the cyber security community in order to build a secure nation. I think this is something every country should take into consideration
