I don't think they have been twidling their thumbs with such a huge discovery without informing constructors.

- bri3d 9y agoRight - but as always with a vulnerability, especially one that's borderline-undetectable through any kind of log analysis, the question becomes "were Google really the first to think of this?" and the tinfoil kingdom builds itself from there.
- mort96 9y agoWe know (or can guess) approximately when the project zero team discovered the issue, but I think your parent comment meant that we don't know when _someone_ discovered it first. Maybe the project zero team were the very first to discover it, or maybe some state actor discovered it a decade ago and has been using it since then.
