All hackers have an email alias on HackerOne that forwards any emails to their actual email address. This provides an easy way for programs to contact hackers to share credentials and information regarding how to set up custom workflows without having to access their actual email addresses. Programs no longer have to share credentials through Excel spreadsheets, shared documents, or other means.
How It Works
Upon the creation of a hacker account on HackerOne, hackers will automatically have an email alias generated based on their username.
Email aliases will be in the form of:
[username]@wearehackerone.com
Programs can email the hacker using the hacker’s email alias to share special credentials or to communicate with the hacker.
The email will automatically be forwarded to the hacker’s actual email address.
Multiple Aliases
A Hacker can have multiple email aliases tied to their HackerOne account. This enables hackers to create multiple test accounts on your program to be able to test different attack vectors on different account levels without having to create multiple HackerOne profile accounts. Hackers can use multiple email aliases by using [username]+[any_identifier]@wearehackerone.com.
