TikTok to White Hats: Hack Away

The video creation platform encourages third-party researchers to help spot vulnerabilities

TikTok explained how it works with third-party researchers, often referred to as “white hat hackers,” to help find potential vulnerabilities on its platform.

Suhana Hyder and Ben Liu of TikTok’s global security team explained in a blog post that the company actively encourages efforts by these third-party researchers as part of its security strategy, adding, “When a security researcher spots a gap in our security and alerts us, we can fix it before it is exploited by a malicious actor.”
