Demand for crowdsourced security booms: YesWeHack bug bounty platform continues to thrive

YesWeHack reported strong growth in 2021—doubling revenue, a large increase in ethical hacker community size, and substantial rises in reported vulnerabilities and paid bounties. The release highlights that implementation and design flaws were the most common issues, technology and financial sectors led adoption of bug bounty programs, and that crowdsourced security and large payouts (including a €230,000 e-voting program reward) are driving wider adoption, but it contains no specific incident, exploit details, or active threats.
