> Reps. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., and Ted Yoho, R-Fla., today introduced the Hack Your State Department Act. It is similar to other bug bounty programs, such as Hack the Pentagon and Hack the Air Force, that have already been set up by the federal government and proven quite successful.

> “This program will rely on a bug bounty system where authorized hackers can enter a State Department system, identify and disclose weaknesses and receive compensation. Additionally, it will establish a Vulnerability Disclosure Program to field vulnerabilities reported by the general public,” Lieu and Yoho said in a statement.
