Immunefi has suspended Trust Security for 90 days amid a dispute over a denied bug bounty payment concerning a critical security vulnerability. Trust Security alleged that Immunefi unjustly dismissed a critical bug discovered on a forked mainnet, labeling it as 'out of scope.' Trust claimed this dismissal prevented them from receiving adequate compensation for their findings. In response, Immunefi defended its decision, stating the issue was indeed out of scope and that the project's offer of a 'goodwill bounty' was generous. Trust Security rejected this offer, choosing instead to raise awareness about the project’s alleged misconduct and emphasizing the need for transparency in bug bounty processes. The situation has sparked debate within the crypto community regarding fairness in bug bounty platforms, with calls for better communication and constructive dialogue instead of punitive measures. Immunefi has warned of a permanent ban on Trust if similar infractions occur in the future.
