> Not anywhere on the page you linked. Read the page carefully - it specifically states they are an auditor approved org. Quote from page: “Meet penetration testing requirements for PCI DSS and SOC2 Type II compliance certifications with our auditor-approved penetration testing methodology and Security Assessment Report.[1].” Secondly, PayPal works with HackerOne officially [2] and within the CVSS standards as they clearly state on their HackerOne page, which is complying with PCI DSS.

    Pretty much. All it really proves is that an org meets a bare minimum of security standards. As noted elsewhere in the thread, it's used more for marketing and to serve as a "hey look at us we're self-regulating within industry!" than anything else.

    I'm not sure that you being convinced by someone who doesn't even understand that it was not hackerone that found the vulnerabilities says much about PCI-DSS

Even if HackerOne were a company that is licensed to do PCI DSS scans, they were not contracted by PayPal to do it. A PCI DSS scanning company cannot just do independent audits for PCI compliance unless solicited by the target. The auditing process you are referencing is not related at all to reports by unsolicited scanners.
