Bug Bountyis a program offered by organizations or websites where ethical hackers (or security researchers) are rewarded for finding and reporting security vulnerabilities in their systems. The goal is to identify and fix potential security issues before malicious hackers can exploit them.
In the hands of malicious actors, knowledge about vulnerabilities discovered through a bug bounty program could be used to:
Exploit Security Flaws – Instead of reporting the vulnerability, they could use it to hack into systems, steal sensitive data, or gain unauthorized access.
Sell Exploits on the Black Market – Vulnerabilities can be sold to cybercriminals or groups willing to pay large sums to exploit them.
Deploy Malware or Ransomware – Once inside a system, they could install malware or ransomware to lock files or systems and demand a ransom for their release.
Perform Espionage or Data Theft – Hackers could steal sensitive information such as personal data, financial records, or intellectual property for illegal purposes.
Undermine Trust – If a vulnerability is publicly exploited before being fixed, it can damage the reputation of the affected company or service.
