Bug Bounty Program — Researcher Achievements

Welcome to the Achievements page for our Bug Bounty Program, where dedication, skill, and collaboration meet tangible recognition. As you contribute to the WordPress open source community through our bug bounty program, we believe it's essential to acknowledge your hard work and commitment. That's why we've crafted a unique system of badges called "Achievements" to highlight your contributions and milestones.

Each Achievement badge represents a distinct accomplishment within our bug bounty program. These badges are not just virtual trinkets; they are a testament to your expertise, resilience, and commitment to making the digital world a safer place.

The road to earning Achievements is a journey of growth and discovery. Our badge system encourages researchers to hone their skills, collaborate with others, and think outside the box. Each badge you earn elevates your status within the open source community, showcasing your prowess and dedication to peers and potential employers.

Your Achievements are proudly displayed on your researcher profile, giving you a competitive edge and a sense of accomplishment. Each badge comes with its own criteria, creating a clear pathway for you to advance in your bug bounty journey. By meeting these criteria, you demonstrate your ability to overcome challenges and contribute to the betterment of the open source ecosystem.

Whether you're a seasoned security researcher or just starting your bug-hunting journey, our Achievements are a way for you to track your progress, set your goals, and gain recognition in the open source community. Start participating today, and see which badges you can earn. No matter the challenge, every step you take brings you closer to your next Achievement.
