hi, i’m daniel. i’m a 15-year-old with some programming experience and i do a little bug hunting in my free time. here’s the insane story of how I found a single bug that affected over half of all Fortune 500 companies:

    I couldn’t help but find it amusing—they were now asking me to keep the report confidential, despite having initially dismissed it as out of scope.

    “Sorry, but per your own guidelines this is out of scope. Because of this, this bug is not part of the agreement and guidelines on Hackerone. You can find my full disclosure, that I wrote after your dismissal here: <Link>” /s

      I mean, that still allows zendesk to reply with “oh yeah that’s also why we’re not paying the bounty”

        Well, they did it anyways, so…

        Also this might work as an answer to “yeah, it’s a bug, but we won’t pay you”
