Pornhub offering hackers $25,000 to penetrate its security

Coming out of an invite-only mode for the first time, Pornhub has opened up its bug bounty programme and is now offering up to $25,000 (£17,000) to anyone who can penetrate its security systems.

To do so, the popular adult website has partnered with HackerOne which is a bug-reporting platform used by a variety of large firms and technology companies including Yahoo, Twitter, Uber and Adobe. To date, the service claims to have facilitated the payout of over $7m to nearly 3,000 responsible hackers and security researchers.
