Google randomly sent him $250K. This is what happened next.
A self-described hacker was randomly paid almost $250,000 by Google. He was baffled by the payment.
On Tuesday, Sam Curry tweeted about the mysterious payment from Alphabet Inc.’s

Google. “It’s been a little over 3 weeks since Google randomly sent me $249,999 and I still haven’t heard anything on the support ticket. Is there any way we could get in touch @Google?” he wrote.
“It’s OK if you don’t want it back…,” he quipped.
Curry describes himself as a hacker and a bug bounty hunter in his Twitter bio. He works as a staff security engineer at Yuga Labs, the crypto and non-fungible token (NFT) specialist that created the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT project.

NPR reports that Curry sometimes does bug bounty work for Google and other companies.
“Google did indeed contact me and I’m going to head into the bank today to pay it back,” Curry told MarketWatch on Friday.
“Our team recently made a payment to the wrong party as the result of human error,” a spokesperson for Google told MarketWatch. “We appreciate that it was quickly communicated to us by the impacted partner, and we are working to correct it.”
Bug bounties are paid out by companies and other organizations when someone discovers a vulnerability in their systems and reports the vulnerability, or “bug,” back to them. Last year, for example, the Department of Homeland Security launched its “Hack DHS” program, which invited vetted cybersecurity researchers and ethical hackers to identify potential vulnerabilities in certain DHS external systems.
In April 2022 the Department reported that more than 450 vetted researchers identified 122 vulnerabilities, 27 of which were determined to be critical. DHS awarded a total of $125,600 in bounties, it said.

Timberwolves Fined $250k Over Party At Alex Rodriguez’s Miami Mansion
Alex Rodriguez is quickly learning what NOT to do as an NBA owner — the Yankees legend’s Minnesota Timberwolves were just punished over a team gathering he hosted during the offseason.
On Monday, the T-Wolves were fined $250,000 for holding a team event in Miami in September, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
According to a report from Page Six, A-Rod got together with his business partner Marc Lore and invited the team down for a weeklong gathering … featuring practices and a little fun in the sun.
The report goes on to say that every player attended A-Rod’s event … and the team bonding went so well, Alex and Marc were thinking about making the Miami trip an annual thing.
The only problem — the whole bash was NOT allowed … ’cause under current NBA rules, teams are not allowed to organize or pay for offseason practice … and they’re also not allowed to conduct workout sessions outside of their market.
Sounds like A-Rod and co. will have to come up with some other team-building idea … but we’re sure the guy will figure it out soon enough.
Rodriguez became a part-owner of the T-Wolves back in July … and the team is estimated to be valued at $1.4 billion. So, losing a quarter milli isn’t too brutal of a blow, but it’s safe to say Miami trip 2K22 ain’t happening.
