"Hack Your State Department Act Introduced in Senate"

Senators, Cory Gardner (R-CO) and Ed Markey (D-MA), recently introduced the Hack Your State Department Act. The legislation would establish a process for the general public to properly disclose vulnerabilities that they find in the Department of State's internet-facing information technology. Under the legislation, a bug bounty program in which vulnerabilities contained by such technology are identified and reported by hackers would also be established. The senators emphasized that the participating hackers would be pre-screened and compensated for their discovery of vulnerabilities. This article continues to discuss the purpose and requirements of the Hack Your State Department Act.
