PlayStation pays user $50,000 bounty for reporting “critical” exploit

PlayStation has awarded a user $50,000 for reporting a critical security vulnerability, prompting him to joke that he can now afford GTA 6. Sony’s bug bounty program rewards researchers who privately report security flaws, giving the company a chance to investigate and fix them. Researcher Jordy, known as 2tonejordy on HackerOne, received the substantial payout and celebrated with a post on X. “I can at least buy GTA 6 with this I think,” he wrote on his X account 'couldbeautism'.
