1 min. readWeb3 bug bounty platform Immunefi has suspended white hat security firm Trust Security for 90 days following a disagreement over a bug bounty payment. Trust Security claimed that Immunefi unjustly denied payment for discovering a critical bug that could result in fund theft. Despite sharing proof of the vulnerability, Trust Security was accused of identifying an out-of-scope bug by the project, leading to a reduced reward offer. Immunefi defended its decision, stating that Trust Security misrepresented the situation. Trust Security rejected the partial payment, opting to expose the issue instead. The incident has sparked debate within the crypto community regarding transparency and fair practices in bug bounty programs. Immunefi's actions have raised questions about the handling of such disputes and the need for clearer communication between parties involved in identifying vulnerabilities.
