Instagram is inviting a group of security researchers known as white hat hackers to stress-test its Checkout feature before it launches outside the United States.
Launched in March, the checkout feature enables consumers to purchase desired items while looking at “beauty tutorials,” images of shoes and fashion or other interest areas, with less hassle than would have been the case prior to the launch of the eCommerce tool. Checkout by Instagram includes participation by PayPal and its retail partnership program.
