At this year's Nullcon Berlin, the international IT security conference that brings hundreds of top experts together, we staged a live Bug Bounty Hunt together with YesWeHack, a leading provider of bug bounty services. Around 40 crack security researchers pitched in to subject OTTO's infrastructure security to a hardcore test. This was a welcome chance for us to check our Web applications for security loopholes and learn from a personal exchange with leading-edge researchers at the same time.
