Security News > 2022 > March > HackerOne kicks Kaspersky’s bug bounty program off its platform
Bug bounty platform HackerOne disabled Kaspersky's bug bounty program on Friday following sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus after the invasion of Ukraine.
Kaspersky also added that its bug bounty program was disabled indefinitely following "Unilateral action from HackerOne."
The bug bounty platform also blocked Kaspersky's access to the program and froze existing funds for already reported security vulnerabilities in the Russian antivirus provider's products.
HackerOne's decision to kick the Kaspersky bug bounty program off its platform follows another blow the Russian company received since the start of the Russian war in Ukraine.
This warning came after Kaspersky founder and CEO Eugene Kaspersky said a "Compromise" would be welcomed to the Russian hostilities in Ukraine, sparking outrage on Twitter.
Last week, HackerOne apologized to Ukrainian hackers after erroneously freezing their accounts and blocking their bug bounty payouts following sanctions imposed after the start of the Russian war.
