Immunefi suspended Trust Security over accusations of manipulating issues, sparking debate on fairness in Web3 bug bounty platforms.
Web3 bug bounty platform Immunefi has issued a 90-day suspension on white hat security firm Trust Security. The decision was made after the latter accused Immunefi of unjust denial of bug bounty payment for discovering a critical bug that could lead to the theft of funds.
On Nov. 12, Trust Security revealed on X that its bounty team identified a critical theft-of-funds vulnerability on a forked mainnet of an unnamed project.
The proof-of-concept of the vulnerability was shared with Immunefi, which acts as a mediator between the white hats and projects to ensure bounty payments are made on credible bug identifications.
