Facebook accuses bug hunter of unethical behavior
A security researcher who uncovered a major Instagram hole has gotten into a tiff with Facebook and opened up a can of worms about the boundaries of "bug bounty" programs. Wesley Wineberg is a well-known bug hunter, having received $24,000 from Microsoft for stopping a nasty Outlook worm. He then turned to Instagram (via Facebook's bug bounty program), after receiving a tip about a potential vulnerability on an exposed Amazon server. After confirming the bug, he decided to dig a bit deeper, and that's where things went wrong.
