34 vulnerabilities were found in the Gosuslug portal, according to the Ministry of Digital Development. Since February, more than eight thousand people have participated in the bug bounty program.
“White” hackers who were able to find critical vulnerabilities receive a reward of up to 1 million rubles.
The maximum payment amounted to 350 thousand rubles, and the minimum – 10 thousand rubles. Participants who point out minor errors will receive gifts with the symbols of the project.
The funds for the rewards were provided by Rostelecom. The Ministry of Digital Development plans to continue the program in State Services, as well as extend it to other departments.
The average age of a program participant is 28, with the youngest 17 and the oldest 55. Of the 34 vulnerabilities, most are of medium and low severity, the ministry’s press service noted.
The Ministry of Digital Development launched a bug bounty program for Gosuslug on February 10. It was carried out on two platforms at once: BI.ZONE and Standoff 365.
