In 2014 I discovered a vulnerability on Yahoo's Login Protection seal that allowed for CSS injection. This information was saved to the browser and IP, persisting across login sessions on that computer. The protection seal feature has since been removed from the login page, but the feature still exists in your account preferences.
Brett BuerhausBack in October of last year I discovered a JavaScript flaw on Google.com that bypassed protocol validation by abusing an if check against a URL parsed by regex. I was unable to find a way to attack this vector, but was still rewarded a bounty of $500 due to Google knowing of an active browser vulnerability that allowed them to exploit it successfully.

After learning about Google's bug bounty program, I decided to look for vulnerabilities on their most sensitive services. Finding a vulnerability on admin.google.com was challenging; I managed to find a simple, but interesting form of Cross-Site Scripting.
