From Testing to Trust: Understanding the World of Bug Bounties
When people think of “hacks,” they usually picture a hoodie, a dark basement, and a trail of chaos. But in reality, some of the best hackers don’t break systems — they protect them.

Supply Chain Attacks: When Trust Becomes the Weakest Link
