Win 35,000 USDT In Prizes with the First Hacken Grey Hat Ideas Competition
Online services bring innumerable benefits and use-cases to numerous industries, but are accompanied by their own set of security issues. Hacken Cybersecurity Services is in the business of creating and promoting online security to combat such issues.
The Hacken community aims to protect the world against malicious actors and hackers and (led by early investor Mr. Leo Andreo) has launched the First Grey Hat Hackers Ideas Competition for the cybersecurity community.
First Grey Hat Hackers Idea Competition
The First Grey Hat Hackers Idea Competition is now open for all parties who can show a unique idea pertaining to cybersecurity. The competition is backed by the Hacken community and the seasoned VC and investor, Mr. Leo Andreo. Mr. Andreo has been a long proponent of using blockchain as an online security system and is one of the oldest and biggest backers of Hacken since September 2017.
Hacken CEO Dyma Budorin commented on the commitment of the platform to find the best and the brightest and backing their ideas, stating:
“Today, we invite hackers from all over the world to take part in the First Grey Hat Hackers Ideas Competition and we are ready to support the brightest and seemingly unattainable ideas”
Known for his streak in funding different projects, Mr. Andreo follows the steps of the famous Satoshi Nakamoto to remain anonymous. His decision to keep his identity veiled hasn’t stopped him from taking active participation in Hacken however. Hacken.io and Mr. Andreo has decided to both provide 50% of the prize money. The total prize pool is 1,000,000 HAI (=30,000 USDT).
