I'm not sure whether Egor Homakov received a reward for reporting this to Mt.Gox which he clearly deserves. However we have contacted to Mt.Gox to understand if they would be launching a vulnerability reward program and the response we got is that they would launch one during Q1 2014.

- homakov 13y agoNo rewards
- becherovka 13y agoIs there a quality bitcoin bounty reward program for vulnerabilities?
- dobbsbob 13y agodont know if you are interested but bex.io is hiring for security engineers/auditors, and most of their employees are remote. Since these guys puport to be a cookie-cutter template for running your own bitcoin exchange I'm sure they will need you. https://angel.co/jobs?slug=bex-io https://angel.co/jobs?slug=bex-io
- 3pt14159 13y agolol, this guy is a legend around here. If he wanted a job, he'd have it.
- shiven 13y agoYou have no idea who this fellow is, right !?! Given his street cred, I doubt he needs any help looking or finding the work he'd like to do and totally do so on his and his terms alone!
- homakov 13y agoNobody hires egor in fact. Not wow.
- nikcub 13y agoI always thought you would get a lot of work via HN people. It surprises me but I don't find it hard to believe. Why it doesn't surprise me is because security and pen testing work is as much about sales, marketing and presentation - perhaps more than skill. Some of the best security guys I know find it hard to pitch their services, so they end up working low-end generic programming or sysadmin jobs. I've tried to get more and more of them involved in my work (I do contract pen testing while also doing my own sec startup at the moment) by including them in proposals I write up, works out well. I messaged you on twitter.
- jacobhansen 13y agoThat's a shame. What is your bitcoin address which we, and the rest of the community, could tip to?
- homakov 13y agojust homakov@gmail.com on coinbase
- jacobhansen 13y agoOk, just transferred $100 to your coinbase account. Since this was transferred directly to your mail within coinbase, the transaction does not get included in the blockchain. Let me know if you didn't received them. Best Jacob, CrowdCurity.
- homakov 13y agoWow, Thanks!
- X4 13y agothat's sad bro, you deserved a really fair gift for that discovery. I mean others (could've) used it. We need more people who report security issues and go public, if nobody listens.
