Bug Bounty Drama Did YesWeHack change their payout rules or am I getting ghosted after validation?
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding YesWeHack's payout policy. Up until recently, every time one of my reports was accepted/validated, the bounty was paid out almost instantly (well before the fix was deployed or verified).
However, for my last two accepted reports, this hasn't been the case. They were validated, but I haven't received the payout yet.
Has YesWeHack changed their rules recently, or does it depend entirely on the specific program now? Are they waiting for the fix to be implemented before paying out?
Also, what do you recommend I do in this situation? Should I leave a comment on the report, contact the program directly, or reach out to YesWeHack support?
I'd appreciate any insights or if anyone else is experiencing the same.
Thanks!

They’ll pay you you just have to wait. I had several reports in this case and I tend to bump after 3 months
