Get Paid To Be a Hacker

Calling all technology geeks. Fiat Chrysler wants you.

The automaker is inviting computer hackers around the world to try to hack into its auto technology systems. You could even walk away some cash for your trouble.

You can’t just do this on your own, though. You have to participate in FCA’s new Bug Bounty program. It’s managed by the Bugcrowd platform. It connects a pool of researchers all around the world focused on finding software vulnerabilities.

FCA hopes to leverage all those tech minds to make its products less vulnerable to cyber attacks. The automaker says it’s the first “full-line” automaker to launch this type of crowdsourced contest.

Researchers who find new potential security issues in FCA vehicles will get cold hard cash for their efforts. In this case, anywhere from $150 to $1,500 depending on the issue’s severity.
