    the subject line "Bug Bounty", or through the dedicated contact form. The program
    is open to individuals only, not organisations.

  gap: >-
    Ather publishes a real disclosure program but does not advertise it at the RFC 9116
    /.well-known/security.txt location, so automated discovery misses it.

  note: >-
    Ather's HTML pages sit behind Cloudflare bot protection and return 403 to
    non-browser clients (verified with browser-equivalent headers), so page bodies
    could not be captured verbatim. Existence and titles are confirmed from Ather's
    own published sitemap.xml (HTTP 200) plus indexed page titles; /contact/bug-bounty
    returns HTTP 200 to a plain HEAD. Nothing here is inferred beyond what Ather
    itself publishes.
