Engineering student wins bounty for spotting Facebook bug

T.K. Kishore, a final-year-engineering student from Madurai, recently received $1,000 as a bounty from Facebook for finding a bug in one of the tools which undermined the privacy of the user.

Mr. Kishore says it was during the lockdown period that he discovered this bug in Facebook in the Rights Manager tool which helps in uploading, monitoring and protecting video content, including live stream videos, on online platforms. This tool helps in identifying copyright infringement.

Mr. Kishore, who is the Director of The360Group, a start-up that produces entertainment content for online platforms, also uses the tool for his work. “Whenever any of our original video gets uploaded by someone else, we get a notification on our dashboard. But by clicking the ‘give permission’ option I was able to identify the computer engineering career profile,” he says.

“Since it undermines the privacy of a user, I reported this bug under the Whitehat Program of Facebook. Initially, they rejected my request. Then, I again explained to them in detail about how the bug undermined privacy. Finally, on May 28 I received a notification saying that my report was correct and then they awarded me the bounty,” he says.

The Three Cs of Joseph Lubin: Construct, Contribute, ConsenSys 825

Canadian business person and programming engineer Joseph Lubin helped initiate the advancement of the open-source brilliant agreement blockchain stage that came to be known as Ethereum. Lubin has since quite a while ago accepted that this innovation could serve "as a sorting out standard for the earth, the world, the planet." As one of the wealthiest and most persuasive open figures in the business, Lubin established ConsenSys, an organization that creates Ethereum-based items and instruments to expand reception of Ethereum applications around the globe, taking the view that the decentralized future is as of nowhere — just unevenly conveyed. Joe Lubin was conceived in 1964 in Toronto, Canada, with his dad occupied with a dental practice, while his mom functioned as a realtor. In the mid-1980s, Lubin started his investigation at Princeton University in electrical designing and computer engineering vs computer science . Following graduation in 1987, he went through three y...

Technical achievement

Recognized for contributions that have significantly promoted technical progress in their fields, UC Santa Barbara professors B.S. Manjunath and Yuan Xie have been selected to receive the Edward J. McCluskey Technical Achievement Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society. The annual recognition is given for outstanding and innovative contributions to the fields of computer and information science and engineering or computer technology, usually within the past fifteen years. Manjunath and Xie are faculty members in the department of electrical and computer engineering. "Congratulations to professors computer science or computer engineering and Yuan Xie for receiving this well-deserved, prestigious recognition and honor from their peers around the globe," said Rod Alferness, dean of the College of Engineering. "We are proud that they have taken international leadership roles in the areas of image search, computer vision ...
