Security News > 2020 > March > Ethical hackers swarm Pentagon websites

Hackers are crawling all over the US Department of Defense's websites.

Four years after it first invited white hat hackers to start hacking its systems, the Pentagon continues asking them to do their worst - and a report released this week says that they're submitting more vulnerability reports than ever.

These high-profile events punctuate a more modest but ongoing program that invites hackers to submit security vulnerability reports focusing on DoD websites and web applications.

The DoD engaged its DC3 unit to run the continuous program and keep the ethical hacks rolling in.

In the future, DC3 wants to expand the scope of the program beyond DoD websites to cover any DoD information system.
