Nigerian hackers try this... lol!!!
If you are American, and can pass a check, go right ahead, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.
The US Ministry of Defense is inviting hackers to test its cybersecurity, under a security program, which is a new developed program, first of its kind!!!
Just imagine the confidence in the ministry; lol!
The program called 'HACK THE PENTAGON', a bug bounty program, will give participants cash awards and other recognition, if they can find and spot weaknesses, errors, or leaks on the Pentagon's web pages.
The pilot program is modeled after similar competitions conducted by major firms to improve network and product security.
"I'm always challenging our people to think outside the five-sided-box which is the Pentagon," Defense Secretary, Ashton Carter said.
The Pentagon did not announce how much money would be paid out, but suggested that the bigger the vulnerability a hacker finds, the bigger the reward.
