neils (@midwestneil) reportedI stopped working in Security last summer after a nearly 20 year run in the industry. This is nothing new. Security inherently has a communication issue. For example around 2010 or so PayPal launched their first bounty program. They fumbled my RCE report as out of scope, so I wrote a blog post about it that had a moment of fame on HackerNews. The CISO of PayPal personally emailed me to work with him on it. All it took was a very simple and frank conversation to make it right. But fast forward to 2026 and you have massive layers of people that have no real authority to talk to you and no real experience in what you are reporting. Keep in mind that these programs are designed to quietly make you go away in an effort to de-risk unknown unknowns. I would argue in 2026 that public bug bounty programs should only be thought of as a funnel to private bounty programs. You have to have some level of mutual trust between the researcher and corps, and the private programs have a better arrangement for that. Use the private program to pipeline researchers to FTE's. There have been so many instances in my security journey where if the entity had just communicated with me on a frank and regular basis, I would have been a very vocal cheerleader for them. To summarize - done well, a good bounty program is an exercise in managing frustrations, helping people grow, and jointly disclosing vulns for public education.

Kinji Uehara (@creamcrop84828) reported@lenoxgoated PayPal is cracking down on these lately and now require business documentation So weird. Maybe people just don’t want to get doxxed each time they wanna make a payment

DJKDownunder (@djk_downunder) reportedMerchants hate payment fees. Stripe: 2.9% PayPal: 3.5% $XEC eCash: 0.0001% That's not a rounding error. That's a paradigm shift. When @Coinbase Commerce supports $XEC, this becomes real for millions of merchants overnight. #XEC #eCash #CoinbaseListXEC

Charlie 🔞 (@CharlesbutDoggy) reportedi was going to let people tip me on KoFi if they wanted to join in on this, but because KoFi is owned by PayPal and PayPal is cracking down on NSFW art, so instead if you want me to draw your **** you can sub to my OF and send me a pic there for me to draw
