SquareX Launches INR 20,00,000 Bug Bounty Program, Calling On Indian Hackers And Researchers To Put Its Solution To The Test

SquareX, led by Indian cybersecurity expert and serial entrepreneur Vivek Ramachandran, is developing a browser-based cybersecurity product to keep consumers safe online. The company recently raised a mega seed round of USD 6 million from Sequoia Capital Southeast Asia and is now gearing up to launch the product globally.

The digital revolution greatly enhanced convenience for consumers globally. However, this transformation has also brought forth an alarming increase in online scams and hacks, posing significant challenges for individuals. The current security solutions such as antivirus software, anti-malware tools, and VPN solutions, have seen minimal innovation in addressing the evolving threats. Recognizing the inadequacy of these solutions and drawing inspiration from the Indian government and RBI's efforts to educate the public about emerging threats, Vivek, an Indian-born entrepreneur, has launched SquareX. With a consumer-centric approach, SquareX is crafting a ground-zero cybersecurity product specifically tailored to tackle the ever-evolving threats in today's digital landscape.

Before the product's international release, SquareX is launching a Bug Bounty program to invite hackers, security researchers, technologists and the community to hack-test its product and find security vulnerabilities in it. Traditionally, it has been unheard of for security companies to launch such a program before the product goes live but SquareX recognizes the importance of real world battle-testing of its product’s vulnerabilities. And is optimistic that this decision will inspire other enterprises globally, and those in India to do the same.

To incentivize and reward the bug bounty hunters, SquareX is offering rewards totaling up to INR 20,00,000 for successfully discovered and reported vulnerabilities. The Bug Bounty program will span over six weeks from Thursday, 15 June 2023 to Thursday, 27 July 2023.

Vivek Ramachandran, Founder of SquareX, said, "SquareX has a strong culture of research and hacking, with multiple members having previously discovered security vulnerabilities and having disclosed them at top security conferences.” He also added, “We realise the contribution of the Indian ethical hacker and researcher community and know that they have successfully won bug bounties globally. Their skills and achievements in the realm of cybersecurity are unparalleled, and we recognize the immense value they bring to the table. So, I would personally want to invite the exceptional Indian hacker community to participate in the bug bounty and help battle test SquareX’s product and features.” 

SquareX believes that the involvement of Indian hackers along with the community at large Indian universities, private colleges, cyber security groups in India will help SquareX to create a resilient product that will provide users with the utmost protection in an increasingly dangerous digital landscape.

About the Bug Bounty Program:

The Bug Bounty Program will kick off on Thursday, 15 June 2023 and run for a period of six weeks, ending on Thursday, 27 July 2023. Interested participants can find detailed information, including guidelines, scope, and rules, on Bug Bounty Program webpage: https://malware.rip/

About SquareX:

SquareX is a Singapore-based start-up founded by Vivek Ramachandran, a renowned cyber security professional and serial entrepreneur. With a vision to make consumers fearless online, SquareX is developing a browser-based security solution for consumers. This solution aims to provide users with control, freedom, and security while browsing the web.

The company recently raised $6 million in a seed round led by Sequoia Capital South East Asia, enabling them to accelerate the development of their revolutionary security solution. With a contrarian view towards consumer security, SquareX aims to empower individuals to be safe and productive online.

The demand remains steady, both for new projects and ready-to-move-in properties in key locations that offer good connectivity and proximity to social infrastructure. Our IRIS index, which measures the high-intent, high-volume property search trends in 42 key Indian cities, shows that Delhi NCR is amongst the top-three cities witnessing high interest in property purchase,  suggesting  active traction for property buying.” 

Ms. Sood further added, “There has also been a significant increase in new property supply in the mid to luxury segment, demonstrating the strong developer confidence in the market.”

In terms of sales, as per the PropTiger data, a total of 3,804 units were sold in Delhi NCR during Q1 2023. The demand was predominantly driven by 3BHK units, constituting the highest share of 45 percent, followed closely by 4BHK units with 38 percent of the total demand. Gurugram claimed a significant portion of the sales pie with 35 percent, while Noida and Greater Noida together accounted for 39 percent of the total sales.

Sector 1 – Greater Noida West (Noida Extension), Sector 86 (Gurugram), Raj Nagar Extension (Ghaziabad), Techzone 4, and Sector 92 (Gurugram) experienced the highest traction in terms of sales during Q1 2023.

"The remarkable growth witnessed in the Delhi NCR real estate market during Q1 2023 showcases the region's resilience and attractiveness to homebuyers and investors alike. The strategic locations, coupled with the diverse range of housing options, have played a vital role in stimulating demand and driving the market forward," said Mr. Vikas Wadhawan.
