Applications and electronic systems will always be haunted by the risk of security threats and vulnerabilities. As companies improve their technological advancement, cybercriminals are finding small gaps and constantly advancing their techniques to attack targets, which causes more and more cybercrime cases each day.

Delivering reliable services whilst protecting and securing company data and user information are a company’s top priority, especially in Tokopedia.

At Tokopedia, we rely heavily on systems and applications, hence keeping our users’ information safe and secure is critical in our daily operations. As part of our commitment is to secure all application development practices, bugs and security loopholes are one of many flaws that the team should look out for. If those bugs or holes are left untreated, there’s a high chance and opportunity for unauthorized parties to exploit these systems and compromise our services and security.

It is always nice to have a second pair of eyes to help us detect something that we might have missed. So, Ethical Hackers Bug Hunters, this is your chance to help us out and determine the undetected vulnerabilities and be our tech heroes!
