Bug bounty reporter cashes out on someone else’s exploit

Security researcher Guido Vranken alleges HackerOne reporter plagiarised their exploit’verbatim’ The vulnerability reported to Monero’s bug bounty program run by HackerOne was a verbatim copy of his previously discovered exploit. Monero confirmed the report was plagiarised, but they are unable to withdraw the already-paid sum of money. HackerOne had paid over $62 million in bug bounty rewards last year, with the figure surpassing $100 million this year according to the platform’s latest report.
