A researcher has been awarded a $6,000 bug bounty for discovering a data leak in SpaceX‘s Starlink system, which exposed personal data and had the potential for broader impact.
The vulnerability, which has now been patched by SpaceX, posed a significant risk due to the sensitive nature of the data that was exposed. The fact that the issue was addressed and a bug bounty was paid out suggests that SpaceX takes the security of its users’ data seriously. The bug bounty program is an effective way for companies to identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
The resolution of this issue and the payment of the $6,000 bug bounty demonstrate SpaceX‘s commitment to protecting its users’ data and preventing potential breaches. With the vulnerability now patched, SpaceX can continue to provide its Starlink services with increased confidence in the security of its systems.
