Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Electronic Frontier Foundation's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • Do not permanently modify or delete EFF-hosted data.
  • Do not intentionally access non-public EFF data any more than is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability.
  • Do not DDoS or otherwise disrupt, interrupt or degrade our internal or external services.
  • Do not share confidential information obtained from EFF, including but not limited to member or donor payment information, with any third party.
  • Do not send phishing emails to, or use other social engineering techniques against, anyone, including EFF staff, members, vendors, or partners.
  • please allow EFF at least 90 days to fix the vulnerability before publicly discussing or blogging about it.

Not accepted

  • Only security vulnerabilities will qualify.
  • Social engineering is out of scope.
