Get Paid to Report Serious Bugs and Security Issues

Put your experience to work for cash or store credit, but most of all to make everyone's experience here better and more secure.

Responsible Disclosure

Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data and interruption or degradation of our services.
Do not access or modify data that does not belong to you.
Do not make any information public until the issue has been resolved.

In order to encourage responsible disclosure, we will not bring legal action against researchers who point out a problem provided they do their best to follow the above guidelines.

Automated Scanning

If you employ automated scanning tools, their requests must be rate limited to not exceed 5 requests per second.
Failure to do so may be considered a DoS attack and will result in disqualification.
Automated vulnerability scanners commonly have low priority issues and/or false positives.
Before submitting the results from a scanner, please take a moment to confirm that the reported issues are actually valid and exploitable.

Send detailed steps on reproducing the bug to [email protected].
Please include screenshots, links you clicked on, pages visited, etc.

Including a video proof-of-concept is preferred if the bug requires many steps to reproduce.
Keep focused on the technical details and provide precise explanations; stay clear of off-topic commentary.
