Hyatt hacking prog

HYATT Hotels Corporation is inviting ethical hackers to test its websites and mobile apps for potential vulnerabilities under a public bug bounty program.

The initiative is in partnership with hacker-powered security platform HackerOne and is offering hackers cash bounties of up to $4,000 for reporting valid security flaws so that they can be safely resolved.

Hyatt Chief Information Security Officer Benjamin Vaughn said the company was “one of the first global hospitality brands to launch this type of program”.
