Bug bounty programs exist to reward ethical hackers with a financial award (the "bounty") for responsibly disclosing security vulnerabilities. What types of people participate in bug bounty prorams and why do they do it? Those are just a few of the questions that managed bug bounty platform provider HackerOne answers in its 2018 Hacker Report.
