Bug Bounty situation = Netflix & Piracy situation?
*Boosts welcome
I want to hear your opinion on an idea I had recently:
So, movies/TV piracy is rising recently. And much of it is due to the overwhelming amount of providers, and the fact that each one has a small portion of the pie.
Unlike Music, where providers have mostly the same, allowing for a good customer experience, lowering the need to pirate music, in the movies/TV industry the situation is just getting worse each day, making the rise of piracy (discussed in DarknetDiaries' episode about the magic box) bigger each day.
I was wondering if the same thing would/is happening in the bug bounty world.
As more and more companies close their bug bounty programs, or lower the rewards, could researchers turn to selling their findings on the dark net/other forums alike?
After all, many researchers do this to make a living, and not be a knight on a white horse.
And if someone invested months researching and testing to find a critical vulnerability, they won't be able to go shopping with a Thank You letter.
what do you think?
I'm not a bug bounter so I don't really live this world, but some of you are. what do you think?
is it already happening?
