Above the Parapets: The Chilling Effect Finally Has Receipts

The first qualitative study of researchers' lived experiences of legal risk: Sunoo Park and Daniel R. Thomas (USENIX Security 2026) on how overbroad anti-hacking law chills good-faith security research — and why it names disclose.io as part of the fix.

Peter G. Neumann, 1932-2026.

Forty-one years moderating the ACM #RISKS Forum. Five decades arguing that secure systems need hardware foundations and formal methods. The conscience of computer security.

This week's Policy Pulse leads with his tribute, alongside CISA's new public KEV nomination form and the Leverett / van der Ham-de Vos paper on unbounded vulnerability counts.

Need Help – Company Shut Down Bug Bounty Program After Fixing My 10 Reported Bugs Without Reward

I reported 10 valid bugs including SQL Injection and account takeover to a company running a public bug bounty program. Initially, they acknowledged the reports and later fixed all the issues.

There’s no official body to protect bug hunters in such cases. If there is someone who can help me with this situation, please reply.

This started when I noticed strange traffic behavior involving my own business, which led me to uncover several domains mimicking major industry brands or just lots of spoofed domains sitting on the same exact IP clusters. Many redirect to real corporate login pages or appea...
