Helpful Hackers
summary
Runs continuous internet-wide scans from a dedicated IP range and triages findings into three buckets: critical vulns, exposed databases with credential leaks, and zero days that get coordinated disclosure; automated notifications plus follow-up calls remove many affected instances within days. Builds and operates 24/7 scanning infrastructure, a training Academy for young hackers, a funded grants program, and a global chapter network; currently about 120 volunteers, a growing day-to-day fund, and scans the whole internet every day.
