, Europe’s leading bug bounty platform has partnered with Sweden headquartered 

 , to identify potential vulnerabilities on its exposed assets. ATG provides quality excitement and entertainment through horse betting, sports betting and casino games for approximately 1.4 million customers.

ATG is constantly evolving to meet new technology demands, increased data access, faster connections, and digital platforms. It is at the forefront of using digital technology to offer content-rich, personalised, and constantly available entertainment while meeting stricter regulation, digitalisation, and higher customer demands.

Like other industries that retain extensive customer data, the sports betting and gambling industry is particularly vulnerable to cyber threats. In addition to the games themselves, ATG maintains databases that contain a wealth of private and financial information. It has payment systems and apps that hackers can target. Meanwhile, one of the most significant challenges in the sports betting industry is match-fixing, which is unlawful manipulation of the sports results.

ATG strongly emphasises guarding against cybersecurity threats, especially as mobile and online transactions become the norm. It continuously reviews its offering, having frequently conducted penetration testing in the past. It is now planning to level up, and the bug bounty program with 

 will play a crucial role in securing its platforms, thus reinforcing the trust of its partners and customers towards the ATG brand.

YesWeHack bug bounty programs offer a modern solution since testing is not limited to a small set of testers. Crowdsourced security will help ATG access a diverse range of security researchers, also called hunters, with unique specialisation and in-depth knowledge of the industry. ATG has started with a private bug bounty program where YesWeHack invited selected researchers to confirm the high level of security of ATG’s platform. This will soon be followed by a public bug bounty program where the platforms will be scrutinised by the entire YesWeHack community, representing more than 35,000 global cybersecurity researchers.

“ATG aims to combine our tradition and values with modern technology to improve and develop the gaming experience constantly,” said Erik Täfvander, Head of Cyber Security at ATG. “Our experience with YesWeHack has been stellar right from the beginning, and we hope to address every conceivable vulnerability on our platform that needs to be taken care of before it is exposed,” he added.

“ATG has a strong focus to create a positive gaming experience and wants to serve as an example for the gaming industry,” said Guillaume Vassault-Houlière, CEO and Co-Founder of YesWeHack. “Adopting game-changing technologies such as bug bounty clearly shows that they are ahead of the competition and racing to win the hearts of their customers,” he added.

Founded in 2015, YesWeHack is the #1 European Bug Bounty & VDP Platform. YesWeHack offers companies an innovative approach to cybersecurity with bug bounty (pay-per-vulnerability discovered), connecting tens of thousands cybersecurity experts (ethical hackers) across 170 countries with organizations to secure their exposed scopes and reporting vulnerabilities in their websites, mobile apps, infrastructure and connected devices. YesWeHack runs private and public programs for hundreds of organizations worldwide in compliance with the strictest European regulations.

In addition to the Bug Bounty platform, YesWeHack also offers support in creating a Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP), a learning platform for ethical hackers called Dojo and a training platform for educational institutions, YesWeHackEDU. For more information:

Agility is no longer a want but a need, with digitisation driving the need for flexibility. For instance, Tesla is upending more than a century of automotive tradition, Uber is redefining the taxi market, and Airbnb is reinventing how we book vacations. Each one is disrupting the market it operates in – not in decades, but years. For a business to survive, it needs to adapt swiftly to market changes. In the last three years, 

 of organisations have started their agile transformation, while 

 indicate that breaking down silos between business and IT is the main driver for their shift towards agility.

However, the increased role of technology in delivering value also increases security risks. Whether small, isolated events or large-scale attacks, the inevitability of cyberattacks presents a strong business case for investing in effective defence capabilities. Species such as the 

 have adapted to ward off threats in the most challenging environments by spraying boiling toxic liquid. Organisations don’t have to go to these extremes, but they HAVE to detect and swiftly respond to ever-changing threats.

Here’s How CISOs Can Seize the Opportunities in the Age of Continuous Delivery.

Businesses have adopted the agile manifesto due to the inadequacy of conventional “waterfall” delivery methods. Similarly, bug bounty is replacing the conservative approach for managing today’s cyber security risks. It helps organisations evolve into supporting the need for speed while establishing greater transparency and getting a better grip on security costs. Bug bounty busts the myth that organisations should sacrifice security for acceleration and adaptability. It encourages a new way of working that is cross-functional, collaborative, and results-driven.

The entire operating model of bug bounty supports the five tenets of agility – strategy, process, workflows, people, and technology. Bug bounty reduces organisational resistance to change, brings security and delivery teams together, eliminates operational silos and improve transparency while helping develop a security posture at scale. Tune into this blog post to find out how bug bounty programs can meet your organisational agility needs with their flexibility and customisation efforts.

Bug Bounty Benefit: Activate Quickly and Get Fast Results

With cybersecurity being a significant threat, vulnerability tests should be conducted regularly. Pentests are rigid, and they take weeks to schedule, creating significant roadblocks especially given short notice for projects such as extra releases of applications, due diligence on potential acquisitions, and unexpected compliance audits. On the other hand, bug bounty is flexible and can become a key component of your security protocols due to its simple, adaptable implementation. Bug bounty programs orchestrate the proper outcomes to detect vulnerabilities within hours of launching.

“I do believe bug bounty is designed for agility. We can’t be agile when we’re doing pentests. There are just too many projects to follow, and we can’t do one before each roll-out owing to the lack of time, responsiveness, and means. The deadlines are too tight and continually shifting, and the tests must be scheduled several times a year. Bug bounty has ultimately allowed us to launch a real monitoring process for DevSecOps. Moreover, we can provide agile, in-depth security in collaboration with all stakeholders without overly impacting them, with continuous improvement in mind,” 

an Information Systems Security Expert from a European Financial Institution.

Organisations that identify and remediate issues faster shorten the window of exposure that attackers can exploit, which reduces the number and severity of successful attacks. Quickly detecting security vulnerabilities contributes to faster time-to-market and greater agility for the business as a whole.

Bug Bounty Benefit: Play, Pause or Continue Testing

Agile is not only about speed to deliver, but more importantly, about speed to adapt. To achieve maximum benefits, teams often pause, review, and modify according to the requirements. Bug bounty help organisations create a continuous security environment to improve all aspects of their products, systems and processes with its flexible, iterative model. Organisations can define their metrics, procedures, standards and methods, and make informed decisions to continue the tests or pause them based on the outcome.

 implemented bug bounty initially and received their reports, they fine-tuned the bug bounty program, customising the type of vulnerabilities they prioritised and wanted to see reported. “We received ‘real’ and potentially critical vulnerabilities, which convinced us of the relevance of the model and the effectiveness of the platform. After one week, the number of reports decreased, but the ones that came up were even more interesting. This is because the hunters ‘got into’ our product quickly and produced reports that were really specific to our business”, 

Alain Tiemblo, Web Security Lead Engineer of BlaBlaCar.

“As we deliver continuously, the ability to extend our program scope in one click, and to detect things quickly on these new scopes also makes us more agile: as soon as an application is updated, we can have it tested, take the results into account, and easily set up a feedback loop,” 

Depending on the release, tests can be conducted to facilitate organisational pace, be it weekly or monthly. If there are limited or no updates to the application, bug bounty programs can then be paused until the next big release.

Bug Bounty Benefit: Set Rewards on Your Terms

Bug bounty contradicts the traditional time-quality-cost triangle, which believes one cannot be enhanced without compromising the other two. CISOs can mitigate risks by investing time and money in mature testing procedures like bug bounty, which improves quality while saving both time and cost. “A key differentiator is that bug bounty implies an obligation of result – you pay only for what you get – while penetration testing only implies an obligation of means. This also helps us obtain security budgets internally since we only pay people who find exploitable vulnerabilities. This is starkly different from paying auditors to see whether they will find something, without any obligation of results,” 

When it comes to security testing, many organisations lose sight of their objectives. They conduct tests the same way they have always done, resulting in a waste of resources, time, and money. With bug bounty, you can target the testings and vulnerabilities based on your specific requirements. You only pay for results, ensuring that your product is secure, whether you release a significant or minor update. What’s more, bug bounty optimises your security budget so that the savings can be redeployed into other programs that help secure the organisation but are typically sidelined due to a lack of resources.

● As one of Indonesia’s leading e-wallet, DANA provides an open platform infrastructure for payments, which allows all users, both merchants and consumers, to make non-cash and non-card transactions.

’s over 30,000 global security researchers will now be able to participate in the public program to identify potential vulnerabilities in the DANA e-wallet.

– one of Indonesia’s leading fintech organisations, to secure DANA’s e-wallet and discover vulnerabilities typically missed in traditional security audits. A young tech-savvy generation is accelerating seamless digital payment experiences in Indonesia. Apart from convenience, access to technology is helping some of the previously unbanked population get access to financial services that were not possible just a few years ago.

DANA provides an open platform infrastructure for payments, which allows all users, both merchants and consumers, to make non-cash and non-card transactions easily, safely and efficiently in one application. The number of DANA’s e-wallet users increased from 40 million before the pandemic to 80 million in mid-August this year.

 “Powering the Acceleration of Digital-First Experiences”

 highlighted that seventy-eight percent of Indonesians prefer e-wallets due to the speed of transactions and convenience. Indonesia’s central bank, Bank Indonesia,

 in its report that the amount of digital transactions was US$9.2 billion during the first half of 2021. This was a 41 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

As digital innovations make the world a faster, better, and much more efficient place to work and live, businesses need to be transparent with their users. The focus is shifting towards security threats and how best to handle them. In a survey conducted in 2019 within the Asia Pacific region by

, 58.7 percent of the surveyed small businesses in Indonesia thought it was likely that a cyber attack would occur in 2020.

Cybercriminals are more motivated than ever to steal personally identifiable information, and the fintech sector is one of the most targeted verticals. Cybersecurity has always been a priority for DANA. The company started with a private bug bounty program, inviting selected researchers to vet their e-wallet. DANA is now taking additional steps in providing transparency and security to its customers by moving to a 

, inviting over 30,000 global security researchers through the YesWeHack platform.

“Millions of Indonesians trust us with their personal and financial information, and we take this responsibility very seriously. We have invited thousands of security researchers from across the world to find vulnerabilities in the DANA e-wallet. The public bug bounty program from YesWeHack is run continuously so that every new update is checked. This protects our user’s data and prevents security mishaps,” said Andri Purnomo, VP of Information Security at DANA.

“Businesses and consumers across Southeast Asia, and especially in Indonesia, have leapfrogged several generations by adopting e-wallets as their preferred payment channel. However, this rapid digitisation should not come at the cost of any compromises in security,” said Kevin Gallerin, Managing Director, APAC at YesWeHack. “DANA’s public bug bounty program will go a long way in establishing trust and securing their wallet for millions of Indonesians,” he added.

DANA invites thousands of global security experts to test its e-wallet

 and general security testing. Given the wide range of available plugins, we have launched a series called “PimpMyBurp” to present our selection of Burp Suite extensions.

Yes, exploitation is a part of Bug hunting process, but redaction is probably the most important part. The report is the final stage which should reflect all the operational work that has taken place upstream: description of the context of the discovery, the endpoints, the requests and the Proof of Concept (PoC). We can automate a lot of things for recognition, but why can’t we do it for the writing part too? This is the question 

 for Burp Suite, which he released to the community a few days ago.

First, you need to download the latest release of RIO

The RIO extension has its own tab on Burp Suite

In this tab, you can edit & save your templates. In reality you could also use your favorite text editor to do it but you might as well do it directly in the plugin since it’s possible.

The template is in markdown. It is a convenient way to write reports and is used by all your favourite 

The RIO extension supports many keywords, which allows you to adapt and create your own template in a complete way. For example, you can choose to display only the host, a specific header, a POST request, the parameters of the request… All the documentation on keywords

 is partnering with ZTE Corporation to confront new security challenges brought by the 5G network commercialization. Through its bug bounty platform, YesWeHack will invite over 30,000 global security researchers to secure ZTE’s products further and discover vulnerabilities typically missed in traditional security audits.

Cybersecurity is always a fundamental factor in the telecoms industry. It has become even more critical because the deployment of 5G sees an increase in the potential attack surfaces and threat landscape with the introduction of new technologies, techniques and capabilities. In addition, the ability of 5G to support massive IoT connectivity introduces many times more devices connected to the network, presenting a wide-reaching and increased attack surface.

 is a major international telecommunications provider and builds mobile internet technology solutions for enterprises and consumers. The telecommunications giant has expanded its bug bounty program in partnership with 

, the first European crowdsourced security platform.

ZTE integrates its capabilities and expertise across handsets, mobile broadband, terminal chipset modules, and peripheral products to create a more intelligent 5G ecosystem. YesWeHack’s vast cybersecurity research community will help identify potential vulnerabilities in ZTE Products. This partnership highlights ZTE’s commitment to building a sound cybersecurity governance structure and creating an end-to-end security assurance mechanism for all product life cycle phases.

“Through openness and transparency, we try to give our customers confidence by letting them see what we do and how we provide end-to-end security,” said Zhong Hong, the Chief Security Officer at ZTE. “Our partnership with YesWeHack will help to enhance the security of ZTE’s products and confront new challenges brought by the 5G network commercialization,” he added.

This bug bounty program for ZTE products rewards up to €2000 for critical bugs in several product categories such as 5G Common Core, 5G NR, Fixed Network, Multimedia, Cloud Video, Cloud Computing, Database management Systems and Terminal products.

“We share ZTE’s commitment to providing their customers with secure and trustworthy products and services. The richness and diversity of the YesWeHack community offer the spectrum of skills required to cover the full range of perimeters, whether hardware or applications. Furthermore, as a significant player in the industry, ZTE is keenly aware of cybersecurity issues from the very beginning and continues to enhance its internal security governance by implementing security by design and security by default,” said Kevin Gallerin, APAC Managing Director, YesWeHack

Cybersecurity is one of the highest priorities of ZTE’s product development and delivery business units. As a result, ZTE has established a holistic cybersecurity governance structure underpinning the company’s development strategy.

Xu Ziyang, CEO of ZTE Corporation, highlighted the importance of intrinsic security in his keynote speech “Fuel the Digitalization, Endow with Intelligence”, delivered at Mobile World Congress 2021. “Intrinsic security acts as a self-sensing, self-adaptive, and self-evolving immune system for networks. Built during network construction, it offers multiple security functions and can evolve automatically during network operation, thus constantly guaranteeing the security, services, and data”, he said.

ZTE Corporation expands its Bug Bounty in partnership with YesWeHack

The pressure to innovate continues to build across industries and businesses of all sizes are catalysing a digital mindset to accelerate their transformation. Organisations with a high baseline of digital maturity have a better competitive advantage, and they adapt faster to changing market conditions. However, as businesses become digitally mature, they will have to deal with the alarming increase in cyber threats – forcing conversations on data ownership, privacy, security, transparency, and trust.

 highlights that investing early to build flexible AND secure infrastructure capabilities is central to digital transformation. They will inevitably enlarge their attack surface as they build out more robust digital assets, capabilities, and ecosystems. This is likely why cybersecurity is also the top priority for higher-maturity organisations since they have more exposed assets to monitor and secure.

However, workforce shortages exist for almost every position within cybersecurity. A 

Frost & Sullivan Global Information Security Workforce Study

 reveals that we are on pace to reach a cybersecurity workforce gap of 1.8 million by 2022, a 20% increase over the forecast made in 2015. There will be a desperate shortage of people who can design secure systems, write safe computer code and create the ever more sophisticated tools needed to prevent, detect, mitigate and reconstitute from damage due to system failures and malicious acts.

That is why bug bounty programs play a crucial role in establishing the right balance between mitigating risk and enabling business innovation. Leveraging the worldwide community of security researchers working 24/7 can help you secure applications at scale before malicious hackers exploit vulnerabilities. It is a dramatic shift from traditional security audits such as pentests. Traditional testing models cannot meet the demands of modern agile development methodologies. They are expensive, resource-intensive, and are only a point-in-time assessment. With pentesting, you must wait a few weeks to complete the tests and the final report. As soon as the information comes out, the findings may become obsolete. And some critical vulnerabilities slip through even the most mature application security programs.

Bug bounty drives agility within the organisation, and at the same time, meets the never-ending demands of those customers who trust you with their personal information. In short: it’s a must for digital businesses.

Here are Three Ways to Increase Profits by Driving Agility with Bug Bounty Programs:

Get Access to an Army of Global Security Experts 

Traditional pentests do not address the talent shortage. Quite the contrary, pentesting providers suffer from the same lack of skills as their clients. As a result, traditional auditing approaches lack an effervescence of ideas and the needed complementary skills. Hence bug bounty programs offer a modern solution since testing is not limited to one ethical hacker or a limited set of testers. Thousands of global security researchers (or ethical hackers) work or can be handpicked and rotated on a given scope with various approaches. Researchers use their creativity to detect many flaws that would otherwise be missed because of the naturally limited skillet of a small pentesting team.

Likewise, it is increasingly challenging to find skilled penetration testers at short notice before a new release. Moreover, applications today utilise multiple technologies. One person cannot be an expert in all of them, so having a diverse range of people with a broad skillset testing the software makes more sense. It’s like having a large army of security researchers who are incentivised to spend time deep-diving into an application searching for more technical, complex vulnerabilities, which isn’t the case in running regular pentests.

When asked what made them choose bug bounty over pentests, a cybersecurity expert from a leading publisher of cybersecurity solutions 

that their operations must reflect the strong cybersecurity practices they endorse to their customers. “

About two years ago, we decided to move to continuous monitoring, both to improve the security of our applications and reassure our customers. Bug Bounty was the natural choice to underpin this modern cybersecurity strateg

y.” Happy with the skillset and experience the community offers, he further added, “

That’s a key point compared to traditional approaches: bug bounty offers an extensive range of skills to ensure that applications are as secure as possible

Since businesses only pay for valid vulnerabilities as defined earlier in the program, bug bounty is also cost-effective to secure applications and increase the bottom line.

Benefit From In-Depth Vulnerabilities Reports

Businesses must constantly evolve to meet changing business models, new regulatory requirements, technological innovations, and increased cyberattacks. Cyber security threats and vulnerabilities must be identified, defined, quantified, and managed. Professional pentesters usually have a defined scope and typically follow a standard methodology that assures that the entire breadth of the scope is covered. Unlike professional pentesters, every bug bounty hunter brings their unique expertise to maximise their chances of finding vulnerabilities very quickly – as only the first reporting hunter gets rewarded.

, an instant messaging start-up, highlights that continuous monitoring by expert hunters validating every new update is critical for every business in today’s world. 

“About two years ago, we decided to move to continuous monitoring on 

’s platform, both to improve the security of our applications and reassure our customers. Bug bounty was the natural choice to underpin this modern cybersecurity strategy. If we want to protect our application from hackers, it must be evaluated by researchers who use their exact methods and think like them,

Since bug bounty hunters do not face the time constraint and do not follow a common toolset, they think out-of-the-box to cover different application sections in more depth based on their unique skills and experience. This ensures that products and services released in the market are secure and more likely to win customers trust, hence driving sales.

Drive DevSecOps With Continuous Vulnerability Reports

In a world of accelerated production code deployments, a cumbersome manual traditional security audit may cause delays. Bug bounty programs are more comprehensive than traditional audits and provide continuous feedback since it is platform driven. By categorising, prioritising, and documenting vulnerabilities continuously, the whole remediation process gets streamlined and allow organisations to triage issues efficiently. With standard audits, security teams rarely run a remediation check. If a significant security flaw is discovered, the deployment is delayed until the code is fixed. With bug bounty, the risk prioritisation will be higher, which will be passed on to the support team to fix the vulnerability. Post-deployment of the fix, the hunters will retest the application to check if the bug was fixed.

The same cybersecurity expert from a leading publisher of cybersecurity solutions 

that the reports written by the bug bounty researchers detail precisely the vulnerabilities found and how to fix them. 

“The bug bounty model is a much more agile approach than traditional methods. We can’t be agile when we’re doing pentests. Bug Bounty has ultimately allowed us to launch an actual monitoring process for DevSecOps. Moreover, we can provide agile, in-depth security in collaboration with all stakeholders without overly impacting them, with continuous improvement in mind,” 

says a leading European cyber security expert,” he said.

With bug bounty programs, security teams can run tests at any time and get confirmation of remediation quickly. This responsiveness and availability can add significant value to building, testing, and improving products, thus driving higher business profits.

As digital innovations make the world a faster, better, and much more efficient place to work and live, the focus is shifting towards security threats and how best to handle them. A secure and hardened IT environment helps gain customers’ trust in the long run. To understand how to maximise the return on investment (ROI) of bug bounty programs, 

“Five Reasons Bug Bounty Improves the Return on Security Investments “

Cybercrime has become industrialised, and attackers are highly prepared to create immense damage. Business and security teams need to come together to protect the organisation. Here are three ways that 

bug bounty programs can cost-effectively build transparency and improve accountability within the organisation.

A 2020 Cyber Readiness Report highlighted that companies lost $1.8 billion to cybercrime in 2019. Failures and abuses of security, privacy, and trust are rising as businesses worldwide accelerate digital transformation. Access to security experts who can work with you closely and identify threats quickly is the need of the hour. Here are 

three ways bug bounty programs can give your business the much-needed security reality check

The global pandemic has accelerated digital transformation, exposing organisations’ #vulnerabilities that threaten their existence. The complexity of security threats has increased rapidly over the years, making bug bounty programs a must to achieve greater security.

 Here are three ways to stretch your security budget further with bug bounty programs.

The traditional castle-and-moat approach to #cybersecurity cannot keep up with an ever-expanding attack surface and sophisticated cyberattacks. In the face of limited security budgets, understand how bug bounty programs can remove inefficiencies, reduce overhead costs, and free up resources to be deployed productively across other projects. 

Here are three ways to reduce overhead costs and resources with bug bounty programs.

 was about to bypassing blacklist and using prototype pollution vulnerability and execute alert(). This DOJO was created by one of our community members. Thanks to him for this great challenge!

We are glad to announce the #13 DOJO Challenge winners list.

XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability occurs when attacker is able to inject his own JavaScript code into webpage source causing it’s execution in victim browser. Commonly XSS may be used to execute actions “as victim”, but combined with other misconfiguration can lead to user’s session takeover.

In DOJO Challenge #13 hunters were given a task to bypassing blacklist and using prototype pollution vulnerability execute alert() on webpage.

The only parameter controlled by user is $config also there are a blacklist containing two characters: and _. The flow of a task consists of:

Creating new object named options with _allowExecute property set to false

Assigning jsonified user input to config variable

Performing copying of config properties into options object

Checking if options._allowExecute value is strictly in-equal to true. Then if check is passed, script will delete options.code property.

At the end of script if options.code is defined, it’s value is parsed as new Function and then executed.

At first we need to use alternative approach for prototype pollution as we are unable to use __proto__ property due to defined blacklist. But as Object.__proto__ and Object.constructor.prototype can be used interchangeably – which can be checked using simple strict comparison in Web Browser Console:

As prototype pollution vulnerability allows us to change prototype of object, not object on it’s own, setting code property using previously mentioned vulnerability cause that delete will not work for it, as it is not the attribute of options object but it’s prototype.

Now as we now that prototype code property will not be deleted we can proceed to execution of exploit.

 with many improvements over the first version. Now, we are in cruising speed and the PwnMachine is evolving little by little with the addition of patches but also of some useful features! For example, since the last version you can now export/import files from the web interface and also add a custom Docker image from a Git repository.

Directly from the web interface, you can now download and upload files from any volume. This can be useful when you need to transfer a word list or a specific configuration for some of your tools for example. It can also be interesting when you want to export the data from these volumes (for a bakup) and reuse them later if necessary.

In the first version, it was not possible to choose your own docker file. This is now possible! You can now import an image directly from a git repository containing a Dockerfile or from a tarball, simply by specifying the repository URL.

We also made a lot of improvements and bug fixes on the kernel and on the client side validation part to avoid errors during configuration.
