It would be ironic if the bug bounty program directly/indirectly lead to this.
- theseatoms 11y agoIronic? Maybe "fitting" instead?
- toxicFork 11y agoI think the use of the word "ironic" was quite fitting. Ironic: A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.
- lucaspiller 11y agoExcept: Bugs that are not eligible for submission: * Bugs on internal sites for United employees or agents (not customer-facing) * Bugs on onboard Wi-Fi, entertainment systems or avionics
- saryant 11y agoThe onboard wi-fi and IFE are provided by external vendors (Panasonic, LiveTV, etc) and United probably doesn't want to pay for their bugs.
- jfaat 11y agoMore importantly, I think they are trying to avoid giving any incentive to hack a plane mid-flight. The policy also stated that criminal actions may be persued in cases of attempting to access these systems.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 11y agoWhether or not they pay bounties for them, they're definitely paying for them.
- remarkEon 11y agoI wouldn't want to be paid in miles.
