June 20, 2016 at 9:03pm - Asked about bounty decision
June 23, 2016 at 1:13am - 5 digits bounty awarded
5 days later and the author had to follow up on the bounty decision before it was awarded?
perhaps this is standard but i appreciate the author putting the timeline in there, this is the kind of information that is important to bounty hunters but is hardly ever talked about.. we are usually more interested in the hack than the monotany
It routinely takes far longer than 2 weeks for clients who have pre-committed to paying me to pay up. That Facebook (as a huge corporation) is able to pay this quickly is actually impressive.
I mean, you're dealing with a planetary megacorp. I know it's facebook, but you should expect to have to fax something and be ready to pull out a DUNS number, SOW, and MSA. The fact that you don't is a miracle.
A DUNS number is a 9-digit business ID number from Dun & Bradstreet. Apple requires you to have one if you want to create an organization developer account for the App Store. See http://blog.metamorphium.com/2012/12/03/apple-duns/
