Open Bug Bounty Successfully Migrates to Telegram from Twitter
Dear Community,
Following the recent abrupt changes at Twitter, most of the features we have been using became either unavailable or impaired to the degree of unusability. To ensure smooth continuation of our Platform operations, the following changes were made:
- The authentication is now based on the internal mechanism that (i) will not fail because of another sudden caprice by Twitter, (ii) does not store any passwords or other sensitive data locally, and (iii) uses a secure one-time password (OTP) for each login session, which will be sent to your email. No more authentication via Twitter is required.
- To login to your account please just use the email you indicated in your researcher’s or bug bounty owner’s profile, the one-time password will be sent to this email so you can login using it. All your achievements, configurations and profile settings will remain intact. In case of questions about authentication, please use the support form, but first double check that you are using the correct email to login.
- New registrations on the Platform will now require just an email address and will use on our internal authentication mechanism described above. Please make sure that for registration you use an email address that you permanently control as each time you will get an OTP token to this email to login. Accounts attached to lost emails are not recoverable for security and privacy reasons.
- We now also pause posting Platform updates on Twitter and move them to Telegram that is a much better and reliable alternative. Please subscribe here to stay connected.
Thank you for being with us and driving the ongoing success of the Open Bug Bounty project!
Sincerely,
Open Bug Bounty Team
