Asset

Found by
suzuya13 Named because the finder allowed the platform to name them.
State
resolved — the programme has fixed it

02 · Is this figure normal

Where this award sits

A single large number tells you nothing on its own. What matters is whether this programme pays like this routinely or whether this was the one time it did.

#2 of 4 here
$500 this programme's median
$1,000 its largest published
#630 of 1,411 awards we hold

It is the 2nd largest of 4 awards this programme has published. It is close to this programme's median, which makes it a fair picture of what the programme pays when it publishes at all.

Every figure here is drawn only from awards a platform chose to publish, which is a minority of what gets paid. Read the median as "of the payouts made public", never as "what this programme pays".

03 · The finder

The only finding we hold from suzuya13

This is the only published finding we hold from suzuya13 on Bugcrowd. That is a statement about our coverage, not about their record: we read a few pages of each feed per sweep, and most accepted work is never published at all.

Counted within Bugcrowd only. The same handle on another platform may or may not be the same person, and this page will not assume it is.

04 · The programme

What else SecureDrop has published

See SecureDrop's grade and researcher reviews →

Where this came from. One row of a public platform feed, stored as published and never edited. We hold no report title, no write-up and no reproduction steps, because the feeds do not carry them and we do not go looking for them. A withheld name stays withheld; if a finder later asks the platform to un-name them, the next sweep un-names them here. Absence of an award figure is publication policy, not evidence a programme did not pay.
