Laxman Muthiyah from India has received a 12,500 dollar bounty for discovering a Facebook bug that allowed hackers to arbitrarily delete photos from accounts.
According to TechCrunch, the bug allowed anyone with a bit of technical know-how to delete any photo on Facebook.
Facebook fixed the bug shortly after it was discovered.
Laxman has a breakdown of how the bug, that deletes another users’ photos, works.
