I'm sorry, won't do that, don't know why. I'm pretty sure there something like computer abuse act. If you don't follow their rules, how would it be legal to hack on their servers?

Hacking PayPal is a crime tho'.

Except for when you play their game, which means: submit bugs via h1 and only disclose if they allow.

I'm not talking about this case specifically.

At least Paypal was notified before the public disclosure!

> but disclosing bugs publically is an addition to your resume

Request disclosure on hackerone then. Idk, breaking the law to get a job doesn't seem ok to me.

Oh so an N/A dupe? That sounds plausable.

> I would actively, publically, and immediately disclose bugs that affect anybody who is a client of HackerOne.

Sadly you can't feed your children from media drama.

Maybe, in the long run, but it's more likely to get sued.

A dupe costs points?! On bugcrowd you GET points for dupes...

"forced telemetry" is very wrong.

Let's see how long it takes until that is illegal in your country.
