    Actually, the research person was granted $10,000 from the bug bunty program.

    You can’t pay someone $10,000 for an email of your favorite youtuber.

      Yeah, I had to read all the way to the end of this really long article in order to discover that for myself. What a crappy title.

      I can see black hat abuse and selling these leaked email addresses being much more lucrative tbh.

    I’ll leak the email address of my YouTube user account for the bargain price of just $9,999

      Yes, the address. Probably not a big deal for average people, but definitely a bigger deal for any big name that doesn’t use a business email as a login.
