Today we all know that web security is big problem as nothing is secured on net,Many big companies like Facebook,twitter,Microsoft And Adobe had also faced this problem so they started an bug bounty programs for finding bugs and vulnerability on there site.Same thing happen also with Facebook, many bugs are in Facebook and Facebook give bounty for finding bugs and reporting it to Facebook and even they add the name to white hat hacker list of Facebook.
Harsha Vardhan Boppana from Hyderabad,INDIA has awarded by $1000 for finding 2 Major Bugs in Facebook. First one is without knowing your old password you can change the password of your account and second one is the redirecting the Facebook main page to any other site, Bugs are now fixed by Facebook and $1000 will be soon rewarded to him via Paypal or issues a Black Card [Prepaid Debit Card ]. But now a days, they only issue Black Card.
As Harsh is my close friend so it was easy for me to take his interview (ABOUT HARSHA VARDHAN):-
Harsha is properly from Hyderabad,INDIA and studying B.TECH in Electronics from Vignan University
now you are thinking that he is in Electronics then how a Vulnerability researcher but the secret is that
in part time we together work on finding vulnerability and he is expert in that.
Now his name is added in the list of Official Facebook White Hat Hackers you can see here https://www.facebook.com/whitehat
He had send the technical report to facebook security with the Source of Vulnerable URL that i can't tell here although it had been fixed by facebook.Reason for that vulnerability is also reported by him.
And according to him it take weeks or months to get respond from facebook because they were fixing that bug then if your reported bug is true then in 2-3 months you will get your reward and your name will be added to the white hat hackers list. All think are done through e-mail.
