$780,000 with Bug Bounty

Introduction

I've made $ 789,000 in a span of three months. Yes, that is absolutely insane. The vulnerability I've exploited the most, or at least found the most, would be XML entity expansion attacks, SQL injection attacks, and some SSRF attacks as well.

Would you rather focus on one or two vulnerabilities and get very good at finding them, or have a general knowledge of the OS top 10 and look for each one?

Expertise any given day. I focused on one—SQL injection—though I would find cross-site scripting, CSRFS, I completely ignored them.
