Young hackers keeping you safe online
| | | | | | | Karan Saini (20) from Delhi was a teenager when he started to work as a bug bounty hunter after the sudden death of his father four years ago, a property dealer in Delhi. With no income left for the family (consisting of his mother and elder brother) a bug bounty award of Rs 45,000 by Twitter in 2015 was a huge relief to his family and also gave him a new purpose in life.
In March last year, Saini exposed a data leak on a system run by a state-owned LPG utility company Indane, which allowed anyone to download private information such as names, Aadhaar numbers and bank details of its customers. After working as a policy officer for a cyber security programme with the Centre for Internet and Society, Saini is now working as a product Support Engineer with a Bengaluru based IT firm, HasGeek. |
