Killer is currently a full-time developer at a software company in Hanoi and also a member of the J2TEAM community. Killer reported and successfully demonstrated a security bug in Google Translate, a Google service that has more than 500 million users a day.
With his discovery, Killer was honored by Google and awarded the exact amount of $ 3133.7. It is no coincidence that the technology giant offers such an odd and difficult-to-see bonus.
