The biggest, fastest, and most lucrative bounty
programs on the HackerOne platform.

2. The Top 20 Public Bug Bounty Programs!
Welcome to HackerOne’s 2019 list of the top bug bounty programs on the
HackerOne platform.
The list was curated using public details available in the HackerOne directory of
programs, with rankings based on the total amount of each organization’s cumulative
bounties awarded to hackers over the life of their program*. It also includes
accolades for those programs who placed in the top 5 for fastest response time,
fastest time to bounties paid, most hackers thanked, most vulnerability reports
resolved, and more. Hackers are attracted to programs that are responsive, pay well,
and pay quickly. So the most popular programs are also, unsurprisingly, the ones
listed here.
Now, on to the list!
*Note: Bounty figures do not necessarily include bounties from Live Hacking Events, Private programs, or other engagements.
