Title: Hackers vs The System: Grey Area Ethics in Bug Bounty Hunting

"Hey guys, just wanted to spark some debate on a topic that's been on my mind lately. As a long-time bug bounty hunter, I've often found myself caught in a grey area - do you report a vulnerability that could be exploited for profit, or use it for your own gain? Where's the line between 'white hat' and 'black hat'?

"Dude, I gotta say, bug bounty hunting is a whole different ball game from just hacking for the sake of it. You're technically still exploiting vulnerabilities, but if you're doing it to help the company patch up its security, I feel like it's more justified."
