22.04.2019  How I was able to create Unauthorized Comments on Facebook Live Stream

Back in October, 2018, I discovered a vulnerability on Facebook that allowed me to create unauthorized comments on live streams of people who aren't my friends and don't allow non-friends to comment on their posts.

For this vulnerability, the Facebook Security Team rewarded me a bounty amount of $750, which was the first ever bounty that I ever received.
