The mobile gaming platform MPL has launched a Bug Bounty program with an aim to enhance the security of its platform. Under this Bug Bounty program, the company will reward security researchers up to Rs. 10 lakhs for identifying a valid security vulnerability on the MPL app.

MPL’s Bug Bounty program is open for search researchers globally. The company has also noted the eligibility criteria for security researchers who want to join this Bug Bounty program. The researcher must be at least 18 years of age and should not have any black hat background or criminal cases.

For getting the reward, the person must be first to report the vulnerability. The vulnerability should be within the scope of this policy. The researcher must submit the Proof of Concept from a real email address.

MPL has warned users not to use any scanners or automated tools. There are several vulnerability scanners that use automated methods to scan a platform and find vulnerabilities. But these scanners send too many requests and can lead to DoS attacks.

Commenting on the Program, Ruchir Patwa, VP Security and Compliance, MPL, said, “At MPL we are always committed to the player – first approach and the Bug Bounty program has been launched to continue our efforts towards enhancing the user security and safe playing experience on our platform. With this, we also intend to reward and recognize some of the good samaritans of the gaming fraternity. We look forward to some great collaborations with researchers across the globe and continue to create the best gaming experiences for all our users”.

MPL Pro app, MPL Originals – Carrom Champs & Pool Champs app, and Poker Web are under this scope. Researchers can try to find any of these three platforms to earn Bug Bounty.

MPL will also feature the name of researchers who submit valid vulnerabilities on its Bug Bounty Hall of fame page.

Several companies have a Bug Bounty program where they reward researchers for reporting vulnerabilities that could affect data and users. Bug Bounty program is a good way to enhance the security of a platform. Security researchers from across the globe report serious vulnerabilities and help companies enhance the security of their platforms.
