Wow, ok. So I took a look at their sales video[0] to figure out what they product is about. And well ... Today I learned that people in Siberia don't have mail

Today I learned that people in Siberia don't have mailing addresses - at least that's what they claim in their sales video. But luckily with Hackerone you can pay

I find this horribly insulting. (And I'm not even from Russia).

- arice 11y agoThat's me, and I'm quite embarrassed as I never paused to consider how it could be interpreted. That was a real story. Shortly after we established Facebook's bug bounty program, we received several vulnerabilities from a brilliant computer science student at Tyumen University (in Siberia). His dorm did not accept international mail, he did not have an accepted government ID (didn't drive), and figuring out how to pay him was a multiple month ordeal that Facebook's accounting team was completely not prepared for. It's something that we take for granted but international dispersements to every individual with internet access is actually an extremely challenging and unsolved problem.
