Since launching an independently run bug bounty program in 2012, PayPal’s program has evolved several times over, including transitioning to a platform, HackerOne, in 2018 to expand participation from 2,000 hackers to over 300,000 hackers on the platform. In just 6 months, we’re proud to announce that PayPal has paid over $1 million to hackers through HackerOne. It’s quite a milestone for us, and so much more the a dollar figure.
