Summary

Bugcrowd has announced its September 2017 Hall of Fame winners, recognizing top performers yappare, mongo, and todayisnew for their exceptional bug bounty contributions. The top three researchers earned significant bonuses for their hard work, with yappare receiving $2,500, followed by mongo at $1,500 and todayisnew at $1,000. To excel in the Bugcrowd platform, researchers must prioritize high-severity bugs that pose critical security risks, such as remote code execution or elevation of privilege, which can earn substantial kudos points. By submitting these types of bugs, researchers not only receive bigger rewards but also increase their chances of being invited to private bounty programs.
