S3 Ep19.5: How NOT to be a bug bounty hunter - a podcast by Sophos

In this special mini-episode, Paul Ducklin talks to Sophos cybersecurity expert Chester Wisniewski about bug bounty hunting.

How does bug bounty hunting work? What should you do if you get a bug report that doesn't follow established protocol? Chester tells you how to deal with so-called "beg bounties", where self-styled "experts" beg you for money or even threaten you with ill-defined "problems" they claim to have found.
