Bugcrowd is excited to announce our August 2017 Hall of Fame winners!

We’d like to welcome mongo back to the first place spot, with sandeepv in VERY close second, and one of our private users rounding out in third. To thank our top performers for their hard work, Bugcrowd is pleased to announce that all three researchers have received bonuses for their performance in the month of August.

  1. mongo – 2388 points – $2,500 bonus 
  2. sandeepv- 2352 points – $1,500 bonus
  3. Private User – 1022 points – $1,000 bonus

Think you have what it takes to come out on top?

High severity bugs that result in critical security impact such as remote code execution or elevation of privilege earn the most kudos points – check out our blog for a breakdown of points and priority, as well as some other great resources such as bug bounty tips and hacker advice from our top researchers.

Submitting high severity bugs not only gets you bigger rewards, it can also help you get invited to private bounty programs faster – check out “A Look At Private Program Invites” to learn more about how to get chosen for private programs.

Thanks again to all of the Bugcrowd researchers for all of their hard work in August. We look forward to the September Hall of Fame results!
