Coverage documents that other companies have taken similar action: HackerOne's Internet Bug Bounty program paused submissions March 27 citing AI expansion, and Curl closed its bounty program due to AI-generated report flooding. Linux kernel maintainers report being overwhelmed by duplicate AI submissions, with Linus Torvalds calling them "almost entirely unmanageable."
