The security industry has perverse incentives, and from what I have seen, these bounty systems which have been pushed for in recent years have made it worse. Not only do we have more of an incentive for these bogus security events, which waste real engineering hours across the economy thanks to automated systems, but we also now see researchers campaigning publicly against companies when their bounty is denied for this sort of thing. Just a total waste of time and effort, which creates a boy-who-cried-wolf mentality amongst the engineers fixing these issues whenever a breathless researcher shows up with a new "CRITICAL" vulnerability.
