Hack the Pentagon and get rewarded legally!

 Are you a programmer who always wanted to explore out of your boundaries? Then i think now is the time to do that without fear of being jailed.The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has officially invited hackers, challenging them hack to hack its network in what it calls "Hack the Pentagon"

 The DoD while announcing the 'Hack the Pentagon' initiative  said Participants in the bug bounty will be required to register and submit to a background check prior to any involvement with the pilot program.  Once vetted, these hackers will participate in a controlled, limited duration program that will allow them to identify vulnerabilities on a predetermined department system.  Other networks, including the department’s critical, mission-facing systems will not be part of the bug bounty pilot program.  Participants in the competition could be eligible for monetary awards and other recognition.

  Last year’s massive security breach in the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) revealed the private information of over 21.5 Million US government employees. while last month, an unknown hacker released personal details of at least 20,000 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents and 9,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers. This could be the possible reasons why the DoD wants to explore and find the vulnerabilities in its System so as to tighten them.
