TikTok at DEF CON: Join Us at the Bug Bounty Village
We’re excited to welcome TikTok as a Platinum-tier and CTF Award sponsor of the Bug Bounty Village at DEF CON 34. As one of the most influential platforms in the world, TikTok is expanding its investment in security and the hacker community through its commitment to transparency, collaboration, and responsible disclosure.
TikTok aims to connect with the brightest and most experienced researchers in the world during DEF CON 34. Learn more about where you can find us below.
Why TikTok Supports the Bug Bounty Village
Since program inception, TikTok's Global Bug Bounty program has had tremendous impact. Since founding the program, TikTok has worked with nearly 700 security researchers who have proactively identified and disclosed over 1,500 security vulnerabilities so that our security teams could quickly resolve them. We are proud to announce that we have also reached (and surpassed) an important milestone, awarding nearly $4M in program history.
Where to Find TikTok During DEF CON Week
In addition to sponsoring the Bug Bounty Village, TikTok will be partnering with HackerOne and the Bug Bounty Village to host our third annual Hacker Hangout. Join us during this happy hour event to connect with our program managers, meet fellow hackers, and network with teams helping drive security forward. We'll also have games, swag, prizes, and will be recognizing a few of the most distinguished hackers in the TikTok program.
