💸 "65 Euros for an Account Deletion Fail — When Deleted Doesn’t Mean Deleted"

Published
•1 min read

The Bug

I found a weird issue with the platform’s account deletion flow:

  • When a user deletes their account, their added email addresses were not removed from the system.

  • If the user tried to sign up again using the same email, they couldn’t — the system claimed the email was still in use.

Impact

  • Users locked out from re-registering after deleting their accounts.

  • Incomplete deletion = privacy issue (user data retained after account removal).

Status

  • Bug accepted âś…

  • Rewarded 65 Euros đź’°

Key Lesson

Deleting an account should mean deleting everything tied to it, including secondary emails.
Half-baked deletion flows = low payout bugs, but solid finds.
