6 min read Bug Hunter

Name: Yash "Maverick"

Location: Dhaka, Bangladesh

Bugs raised: 94

Background: CTO, triager, self-taught bug hunter

Overview

Yash is a 26-year-old self-taught security researcher from Dhaka, Bangladesh, who transitioned into cybersecurity after completing his formal education. He previously worked as a triager at a Finland-based bug bounty platform, where he managed the intake and verification of thousands of reports.

His focus is on finding fundamental business logic flaws and authentication issues. Recently appointed as CTO at Securyhub.com, Yash has worked on both sides of the disclosure table. He understands the need to eliminate noise, and get fast validation, and maintain researcher engagement.

Over six months on Bugbop, Yash submitted 94 reports, earned $6,685 USD, and helped multiple companies identify and resolve critical vulnerabilities, including account takeover issues.

The Challenge

Based on his triaging experience, Yash understood the core challenges facing bug bounty platforms:

  • Weeks of manual triage delays on traditional platforms
  • Administrative back-and-forth that wastes researcher time
  • Duplicate submissions creating noise and frustration
  • Slow remediation cycles that don't respect serious researchers

As a hunter specializing in authentication issues and fundamental business logic flaws, he needed a platform that would eliminate these inefficiencies and focus on what matters: finding and fixing vulnerabilities quickly.

Bugbop Solution

What impressed Yash most about Bugbop was how the platform processes reports. Bugbop's automated severity detection and duplicate identification immediately confirmed the legitimacy of his findings.

"What truly sets Bugbop apart is the AI-driven triage. The fact that I can report a bug and the system automatically determines the correct severity and flags duplicates means zero time wasted in administrative back-and-forth. This speed is crucial for a serious researcher focused on maximizing output."

This automation translates directly into faster payouts and quicker remediation for clients. It's a win-win scenario that respects the researcher's time.

Yash's consistent, high-quality submissions demonstrate an impressive 85% acceptance rate. His work helped several companies discover critical issues that had gone unnoticed by professional penetration tests.

The Hunter Experience

"Working with Bugbop feels direct and professional. The commitment to a lean model ensures that vulnerabilities get patched faster, which is the ultimate goal for any serious security researcher. It's a community built around fixing bugs, not generating administrative metrics."
