He told Instagram that any Instagram users account can be hacked without their knowledge. Now Instagram has fixed that bug.
Earlier one year, an account could be hacked by giving millions of codes at once. Now only 10 codes can be entered in ten minutes. So it is not possible to hack the account now. That’s why he got this reward.
Laxman said “In the year 2011, I participated in many workshops and events related to hacking in the first year and second year of my college. That’s what I found out about Bug Bounty Programs. I get paid for information about a bug I was told. Searching for a bug is not just about finding a bug You also have to prove that it is a threat to security and can hack a user’s profile. When I came to know that it could be made a profession, I started trying to become a bug hunter. I found 1 bug in Facebook which took almost 1.5 years. I got about 90 thousand rupees ($13,000) for this. That was my first earning”.
