Google's Vulnerability Reward Programme was to find the lapses and submit them as a report.
Sreeram and his friend, Chennai native Shivanesh Ashok, sent four reports. Three of these reports won prizes.
Sreeram’s company Squadron Labs, which is registered in Canada, is into protecting companies from cyber attacks. K Krishnamurthy and K Liji are Sreeram’s parents.
