It’s fascinating to me to see a cultural gap between existing computer hackers and bug bounty hunters and people that simply had no ability to surface vulnerabilities in companies meaningfully before LLMs made it as easy as asking a question. Feeling justified dropping an unfixed vulnerability on a company with little or no security posture on Twitter just signals to anyone that’s an adult that you are probably a dumbass. It’s optimising for attention rather than impact. You can report this to the CERT in the relevant country and move on with your day, posting it on Twitter is entirely self-serving and disingenuous. There’s a real decoupling of several things at play, in order to find issues of substance it actually conferred skill (and most likely intellect and critical reasoning skills) and now as that rising tide has lifted all boats you are going to get more and more people that can surface the issue but don’t understand the customs surrounding how vast swathes of this industry function.
