More than 600,000 hackers registered on HackerOne can join Tencent’s bug bounty program to hunt for vulnerabilities in the company’s products. Tencent, on the other hand, will leverage HackerOne’s network for bounty payments.

The HackerOne community gains access to Tencent’s public and open bug bounty program, which is hosted externally by the Tencent Security Response Center (TSRC). Although paid through HackerOne, all rewards are decided by Tencent alone.
Ethical hackers can earn rewards of up to $15,000 for eligible valid vulnerabilities in Tencent products.

“We are the first company in China to set up a Security Response Center, and now by partnering with Hacker One, we expect to receive constructive research results from a larger, global community of security experts,” Juju Zhu, COO of Tencent Security Response Center, commented.

Tencent informed white hat hackers in mid-April that it teamed up with HackerOne for a bug bounty program with rewards of up to $15,000.
The company has now announced that it’s expanding its bug bounty program to cover its operating systems. This initiative, however, will only run until the end of 2020.

TencentOS Server, aka Tencent Linux and Tlinux, is a Linux distribution designed for cloud server applications. TencentOS tiny is an operating system for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. They were both made open source over the past year.
Researchers can earn up to $140,000 if they find critical vulnerabilities that can be exploited for remote code execution with root permissions, or to escape a virtual machine and obtain a shell on the host with root privileges.
