Bug bounty platform Immunefi has released its Whitehat Leaderboard — a scoring system that showcases the top 20 most elite white hats in Web3. The rank will measure a given white hat's skills and status amid Immunefi's security community, said the company at the Web Summit on Nov 4.
A white hat hacker is someone who identifies security vulnerabilities by testing an organization's information technology security. In Immunefi's community, the top 10 white hats alone have generated over $42 million in total earnings by disclosing critical vulnerabilities that have led to big bounty payments in the software industry.
