I was interested in working with the Data Science team of one of India's leading e-commerce startups.
Later, I ended up doing a project[1] where I have collected and analysed the user order data from their order tracking portal.
Now I feel that they won't take me back because I kind of played like a Black-Hat instead of a White-Hat by not notifying them about the little loophole that made it possible for me.
Before this, I was an intern there and got that because of one of my past project. This method does work.

- justinclift 11y agoHeh Heh Heh It's kind of sad you sound surprised. :( If you were in their shoes, how would you have handled someone doing that? :)
- pravj 11y agoYeah, agree with you. Although it was not that I stole some secret key or something. It was just that there was data in public, and I used it for good.
- soared 11y agoThey likely thought you used knowledge of their internal system for blackhat purposes, which is kind of what you did. Interesting analysis and dci nonetheless.
