When a bounty hunter reports a vulnerability that has already been reported, Cyberbay ensures their efforts are recognized despite not receiving a monetary reward. Here’s how Cyberbay handles duplicate reports:
Cyberbay’s Approach to Duplicate Reports
- No Monetary Reward: Unfortunately, if a vulnerability has already been reported, the new report will not qualify for a monetary reward.
- Prime Time Hours: As a token of appreciation for their efforts, bounty hunters will receive Prime Time hours. These hours allow them to reserve new missions that have not yet been made public. During these exclusive Prime Time periods, bounty hunters can search for vulnerabilities in new assets before they are accessible to the broader pool of hunters.
Benefits of Prime Time Hours
- Exclusive Access: Prime Time hours grant bounty hunters access to new missions and assets before they are available to the general public, increasing their chances of finding unique vulnerabilities.
- Recognition of Effort: Even though a monetary reward is not provided for duplicate reports, the allocation of Prime Time hours ensures that hunters’ efforts are recognized and rewarded in a meaningful way.
Summary
At Cyberbay, we ensure that the efforts of bounty hunters are valued, even if they report a duplicate vulnerability. While a monetary reward is not given for duplicate reports, bounty hunters will receive Prime Time hours, offering them exclusive access to new missions and enhancing their opportunities to discover new vulnerabilities.
This approach not only acknowledges the hard work of bounty hunters but also encourages continued participation in bug hunting missions on the Cyberbay platform.
