operating on behalf of Synack<p>&gt; He &quot;assumed&quot; because the researcher signed up for the Facebook bounty program as an employee of Synack and used his Synack email to communicate with Facebook.
He wasn&#x27;t guessing. He didn&#x27;t look the guy up on LinkedIn<p>This is a load of bolony &#x2F; ass-covering by Alex - Facebook&#x27;s bounty program explicitly deals with individuals <i>only</i>, not companies and Alex knows this.
