Ask HN: I found a flaw in a card reader. How should I report it?
- tmaly 10y agoIf you are looking for a reward, just ask the company first off if they offer bounties on finding flaws.
- informatimago 10y agoAlready, that you have to ask it here shows that there's something wrong. Let's take a guess, what would be easiest to do: - talk about it anonymously on some cracker irc channel? - contact the official channels with the right precautions and the right credentials, to avoid being sued for whatever reason? Perhaps you should just forget about it.
- entangld 10y agoIt's crazy that I have to worry about being sued for pointing out a mistake.
- EJTH 10y agoI would go to the company, and if they didn't respond to the issue, I would do a public disclosure of the flaw.
