Companies Suspend Bug Bounty Programs as AI-Generated Reports Quadruple in April

According to Financial Times, companies running bug bounty programs are suspending initiatives after experiencing a surge in AI-generated fake vulnerability reports. In April, cybersecurity platform HackerOne and hosting platform Nextcloud both suspended their paid bounty programs, citing an unmanageable influx of low-quality submissions. Bugcrowd reported that submissions through its platform quadrupled during three weeks in March, with most identified as fraudulent. The flood of AI-generated reports is forcing security teams to spend significant time filtering spam from legitimate vulnerabilities, despite bug bounties collectively distributing at least $58 million in 2025 to researchers uncovering software flaws.
