Calling All Hunters: Halcyon Threat Research Incentive Program (TRIP)

Halcyon announces Halcyon TRIP, a ransomware-centric threat intelligence bounty program that offers up to $250,000 in rewards to independent researchers who submit novel, actionable intelligence. The program defines four reward tiers (up to $10,000, $5,000, $3,000, and $1,000) for insights ranging from group/RaaS attribution to IOCs and tooling, and emphasizes vetting, compliance (no payments to affiliates or OFAC-listed entities), and traceable payouts to improve detections, expand infrastructure visibility, and disrupt ransomware operations.
