What Happened to HackerOne?
HackerOne has changed significantly from the bug bounty platform many researchers knew in the late 2010s.
Its current direction is increasingly centered around Hai, AI-assisted triage, vulnerability validation, agentic testing, continuous testing and CTEM.
But the question isn't simply whether HackerOne uses AI. It's how researcher submissions, security intelligence and AI-driven workflows fit together, and what that means for the role and value of human vulnerability researchers.
I dug into HackerOne's history, funding, Live Hacking Events, pricing shift, AI architecture, researcher-data controversy and current product strategy.
