Summary WinZO has always believed in ensuring a secure platform experience for everyone involved and with that in mind, we’ve launched the Bug Bounty Program. Through this program, users can report the security bugs they’ve found to stand a chance to win awards up to ₹1,00,000! Vulnerabilities in only the following areas will be accepted under this program:- * Payment flows * Exploitation through rooted devices * Signup flow & login authentication in the app * Score submission and result calculation across games on the platform Users are expected to submit their findings in a manner which would enable us to reproduce the said vulnerabilities. For more information on the program including T&Cs, please refer to the article below.
