Hi . i was going through a yc partner company and i found a bug that lets me use hundreds of dollars worth of service and far more in other facilities for free using yc name .
Should i contact the partners bug bounty program or ycombinator ?
I am pretty new to bug testing . so i don't know where should i contact .

It doesn't sound like it's an issue with YC or a YC-funded company. You'd be best to contact the company providing the service.

Don't take this as any kind of official advice, but I'd just reach out to the company. It may not be a bug/exploit. It might be that anyone can give a YC company name but they check during the registration process that you're legit and entitled to the credits. I have no idea, just suggesting an explanation.
