Capital.com has unveiled a new initiative inviting ethical hackers and security researchers worldwide to identify and report software vulnerabilities on their platforms. This global call to action offers cash rewards based on the severity of discovered issues, reflecting Capital.com’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security.
A Global Invitation for Enhanced Security
In a move to bolster its platform’s defenses, Capital.com has launched a public bug bounty program, hosted on the crowdsourced security platform Intigriti. This initiative underscores the company’s dedication to safeguarding user data and ensuring the integrity of its trading environment.
By inviting security experts from around the globe to participate, Capital.com aims to proactively identify and resolve potential vulnerabilities. Ethical hackers who uncover significant security flaws will be rewarded based on the potential impact of their findings.
Pavel Krasilevich, Head of IT Security at Capital.com, commented on the program: “At Capital.com, we are deeply committed to protecting our customers. By introducing this bug bounty program, we are not only tapping into the expertise of the global cybersecurity community but also taking proactive measures to stay ahead of potential threats. This initiative is a testament to our ongoing efforts to ensure our platform remains secure and trustworthy.”
Collaboration with Intigriti
Central to the success of this program is Capital.com’s partnership with Intigriti, a leading crowdsourced security platform. Intigriti will manage the bug bounty program, providing clear guidelines and submission criteria for participating security researchers.
Detailed information and participation guidelines are available on the Intigriti platform, where security researchers can contribute to Capital.com’s mission of creating a secure and reliable trading environment.
In related news, Capital.com recently announced the removal of overnight funding fees on non-leveraged CFD trades for stocks and digital assets. This change is in response to a shift in trader behavior, with an increasing number of retail traders holding positions for longer periods. According to the company, 89% of non-leveraged overnight positions in Q2 2024 involved stocks and cryptocurrencies.
