Case Study: Indeed strengthens user security and prevents extortion with Bugcrowd's bug bounty program

Indeed - Customer Case Study

Indeed, the global job site Indeed prioritizes keeping job seekers' information safe as it builds services used by millions. Despite proactive security work, attackers and researchers were finding and sometimes coercively threatening to disclose vulnerabilities, creating a trust and handling challenge for the company.

Indeed launched a managed bug bounty program through Bugcrowd to provide a clear, fair channel for reporting issues, offering monetary rewards and recognition. In the past 18 months the program processed over 300 submissions, with payouts up to $5,000 and top researchers earning cash and reputation; using Bugcrowd as an impartial arbiter eliminated extortion attempts and enabled consistent, abuse-free vulnerability remediation.
