The United Airlines Bug Bounty Program rewards hackers with frequent flyer miles for discovering security flaws in their website.
A felony offense thats punishable by a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
However, Ryan was allowed to complete a pre-trial diversion program and the charges were dropped.
Ryan has now made a hobby of finding bugs.
But I quickly realized how fun looking for bugs was so I just kept at it.
According to Ryan, he has been rewarded with 15 million United frequent flyer miles.
Thats $300,000 worth of rewards with each frequent flyer mile valued at $0.02.
I love everything about the school, the faculty, professors, students, and facilities.
Im a die hard ramblin wreck, Pickren says.
