The US Department of Defense announced on Friday that it has processed 50,000 reports received as part of its ongoing vulnerability disclosure program (VDP), which began in November 2016.

The program, a first in federal government history, was launched in response to the success of the ‘Hack the Pentagon’ bug bounty program on HackerOne, which was followed by similar programs covering Air Force, Marine Corps, Army, and Defense Travel System assets.
