Nintendo has extended its “HackerOne” program to the Switch, meaning that it will now offer money to hackers who find vulnerabilities on the new Switch console.<\/p>\n

HackerOne is an independent platform used by many tech firms, such as Twitter, where they offer bounties to hackers who find bugs and security issues with their software and\/or hardware.<\/p>\n

Nintendo already uses the platform for the 3DS, and now, on the Switch, with a minimum bounty of $100 per bug\/glitch\/issue.<\/p>\n

Some of the things that Nintendo is looking for is vulnerabilities and exploits in piracy and game cheating, as well as more serious system vulnerabilities, as they explain:<\/p>\n

\n
• System vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo Switch\n
  \n
  • Privilege escalation from userland<\/li>\n
  • Kernel takeover<\/li>\n
  • ARM\u00ae TrustZone\u00ae takeover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
  • Vulnerabilities regarding Nintendo-published applications for Nintendo Switch\n
    \n
    • Userland takeover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The bounties Nintendo offers range from $100 to $20,000. And the company is quite active on the platform: it awarded three bounties in the last 24 hours. <\/p>\n
