I was not addressing the ethical question involved - just the logic behind "Apple thanks you, therefore you should be happy".
If Apple is not providing reasonable money compensation to white hat security researchers then they are willingly leaving this space opened for black hats.
- saurik 9y agoI read that more as "Apple thanks you, at which point you realize you were smart enough to have made more money doing something else", not "therefore you should be happy".
- kk_cz 9y agoThis is similarly distorted though - You make enough money anyway, so you should do this for Apple on discount, because "exposure". No, Apple is making money of their walled garden, they should be the ones to pay the bills for wall maintenance.
- saurik 9y agoYou are trying to read the comment as positive of Apple's thank you and exposure, when it sounded to me much more like a reality check: I would go so far as to say Thomas's point might have been "when Apple thanks you you will come to regret wasting your time--which you now know was always valuable--on them". That isn't "you should thank Apple for making you realize that"...
