It looks like a "reap what you sow" situation. No one is looking good now.

- chris_wot 9y agoIrrelevant. If he found these bugs, even if he’s been a dick about it then he still found a bunch of vulnerabilities that Uber was exposed to. Pay the man, it’s a few thousand dollars as opposed to a major exploit!
- EnFinlay 9y agoBut that's my point. Of course he deserved a payout if he reported a previously unknown vulnerability. What I'm saying is that he (appears to have) behaved in such toxic way (sow) that someone denied something he deserved (reap). All parties in this are squishy humans with emotions. No one looks good - he doesn't look good for how he behaved/communicationed, Uber doesn't look good for denying the payout on a valid report, and Hackerone doesn't look good for not enforcing a minimum payout on a valid report.

- sxcurity 9y agoA bunch of P5's that were rightly closed as informative. I completely agree w/ Uber's decisions here...
- wpietri 9y agoUber is the last company in the world that gets to complain that somebody isn't being nice to them.
- jstandard 9y agoThis seems unnecessarily callous. The writer was incredibly insulting to a person in a public forum, but that's ok because "well they worked for Uber"? I don't see this discussion as about whether a corporate PR team is allowed to issue a response. It's about the author childishly lashing out at an individual because he didn't agree with their decision.
- wpietri 9y agoI didn't say it's ok. I said Uber doesn't get to complain. Indeed, my belief is that this guy's and Uber's behavior are both not-ok, which is exactly why Uber doesn't get to complain.
- village-idiot 9y agoThat's not how that works at all.
- wpietri 9y agoSorry, Ashton. I believe it is, and an internet random boldly asserting otherwise is not likely to do much to persuade me to the contrary.
