Two months earlier, longtime stable maintainer <strong>Willy Tarreau</strong> had already shared the numbers: a list that received two to three reports per week in 2024 was getting <strong>five to ten reports per day</strong> by March 2026. In January, <strong>Daniel Stenberg shut down the curl bug bounty</strong> after the valid-report rate on HackerOne dropped from above 15% to below 5%, with twenty submissions in 21 days — seven of them in one 16-hour window — and zero real vulnerabilities among them.</p>
