Twitter awards $10,080 to Indian-origin hacker for discovering security flaw

Microblogging website Twitter awarded Avinash Singh, an Indian-origin White Hat hacker, $10,080 for discovering a security loophole in its Vine video-sharing service.

The flaw enabled Singh to access the entire cache of Vine’s online code.

Avinash Singh reported the security loophole to Twitter in March and was awarded with $10,080, through a bug bounty startup called HackerOne.
