Title: Hacked and Left to Rot: When Bug Bounty Programs Fail Their Hackers
Hey guys, I wanted to start a discussion about this topic because it's really concerning when bug bounty programs don't come through on their promises. I had a friend who found a critical vulnerability in a popular DeFi platform, but the bounties were ridiculously low and their support kept dragging their feet on the fix. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Lol gotta agree with this OP, I had a similar exp with a program that promised $10k, but after getting to the final round, they just ghosted me and never even sent a rejection email. These bug bounty programs need to step up their game if they wanna attract the best devs.

"Had this happen with a small exchange last year. They had a decent bug bounty program, but their comms went dark after I disclosed the vulnerability. Still waiting for them to fix the issue or reward me"

"Yup, been there, done that - got a small bug bounty payout a few months back but still waiting for confirmation on the fix being implemented by the devs. Transparency is key here, folks. Need to see more accountability from these big players."
