Meta Paid $78,000 Bounty for Vulnerability Exposing Customer Support Data

A security researcher identified a broken access control flaw in Meta's customer support infrastructure that could expose sensitive support data. Meta awarded an $78,000 bug bounty for the discovery. The vulnerability highlighted a gap in access controls protecting customer-facing support systems.

Why it matters: Organizations operating support portals should audit access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure of customer data; this demonstrates the severity with which security researchers identify and report such flaws.
