Summary

The Bugcrowd platform has implemented a mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requirement for all hacker accounts in order to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized access. This change was prompted by threat intelligence involving leaked credentials from other bug bounty platforms, highlighting the importance of staying ahead of potential threats. As part of this update, users who do not have MFA enabled will need to reset their password immediately, and those using the platform via API can scan a QR code during MFA setup to retrieve the secret key for generating One-Time Passwords programmatically. The goal is to keep users safe and secure, while also protecting the community and customers from potential threats.
