An LLM finds a dubious bug, an LLM turns it into a convincing report, and now the proposed solution is to have an LLM triage it? There are a lot of turtles holding up this approach and the circular logic seems hard to miss. Automated triage can filter obvious spam, which was already fast and easy for humans to do. The hard part is independently reproducing a plausible finding and assessing its actual impact. If LLMs…

Not anymore! Most places allow this very easily now.
Exactly. Revolut is a bank that allows cryptocurrencies. HN really is living in their own bubble.

To be fair “we will compensate you if you do X” sounds a lot like a contract so you’d probably be just fine in court. (Though likely wise to avoid the chance of a legal headache)
I don't trust the legal system. They could cover up the evidence, get me blocked on HackerOne, claim that my screenshots are AI-generated, hire top lawyers then make the judge to charge me for the lawyers' bill. The big company always wins. The legal system is pure fiction at this point. What lawyer would stand against the big companies? Permanently destroying all their future career prospects. Erin Brockovich? That'…

This and the pre-triage are the only reasons we even use a bug bounty platform. If paying out bounties was easy I would do it all via email; but as you said it’s almost impossible to do (unless you are maybe bigcorp and have a team just for that)
- Starting scenario: no way to contact a company outside of H1 (or some other managed programme)
- The company is compromised, their customer support has no idea what this means, they have no security.txt or any other security contact
- I have explicitly told H1 to just forward it with no bounty, I don't want a bounty, only remediation, I do not care about a bounty or any reward
- H1 closes as "not eligible" and tells me to not submit stuff I can't prove it's my compromise by putting my username on it
- Corporate server is still compromised and being used as a proxy to brute force my services

Revolut does not have a banking license in the US. At the moment they are a front for another bank. Don't be gullible and believe blindly what the marketing departments tell you.

I worked at a big corp and we paid out randoms for a program (not bug bounty). It was an absolute minefield, people would lie to us about where they were located only for us to find out they’re in and then legal tells us we have to pay them but we’re not allowed to at the same time. Outsourcing all that mess is a great use of money.
Yea we also handled it ourselves the first couple years but it was so painful. Literally the same thing you described happened - as well spending weeks+ how we need to file it as tax when we pay bounty to someone in Pakistan etc.

Many solutions nowadays. https://www.payoneer.com/ is one of them. Of course this one is a bit racist depending on which contry you were born in.

Nor safe. Good luck recalling a wrong crpyto transaction.
