Port Swigger partners with Meta Bug Bounty to empower bug hunters with training and Pro licenses

Summary: PortSwigger announced a partnership with Meta Bug Bounty that combines Burp Suite Professional access with the Web Security Academy's learning pathways for bug hunters. The program targets researchers in HackerPlus Silver leagues on Meta Bug Bounty, and PortSwigger will also sponsor the Meta Bug Bounty Researchers Conference this year.
Why it matters: Meta's bug bounty program is handing its HackerPlus Silver researchers professional-grade tooling and structured training, which raises the baseline capability of the external hunters probing Meta's attack surface - and sets an expectation that other bounty programs may need to match.
