Welcome to SquareX Bug Bounty!
SquareX, founded and led by serial cyber security entrepreneur Vivek Ramachandran, is building a browser-based cyber security solution with a vision to make consumers fearless online (“Product”). Our aim is to provide users control, freedom, and security while browsing the web fearlessly!
Unlike traditional security companies, which would launch the product first, then discover security bugs and vulnerabilities, we are taking an unconventional step by announcing a bug bounty program (“Bug Bounty Program”) before our Product's official launch globally. We invite hackers and researchers to uncover potential security vulnerabilities, helping us improve our Product before launching it globally.
If you discover any security issues, please notify us. We value your input and look forward to working together to strengthen our Product. By participating, you agree to follow the program rules set out in this document (“Terms”).
