Switzerland Launches Bug Bounty Program for E-Voting Systems by Eduard Kovacs

From the post:


Hackers can earn between $30,000 and $50,000 if they find vulnerabilities that can be exploited to manipulate votes without being detected by voters and auditors. Voting manipulation methods that are detectable can earn participants up to $20,000.

Server-side flaws that allow an attacker to find out who voted and what they voted can earn hackers as much as $10,000, while vote corruption issues can be worth up to $5,000. The smallest bounty, $100, will be paid out for server configuration weaknesses. Participants will be allowed to make their findings public.

The source code for the e-voting system is publicly available, but Swiss Post noted that source code vulnerabilities must be reported separately if they cannot be exploited against the test system.

If you are a registered White Hat hacker, submit your findings for awards as described.

If you are a Black Hat hacker, sell your hack to one of the participating White Hat hackers. 😉

Something for everyone.
