Looking at the site for the vulnerability (sirenjack.com)[0], what's the motivation behind the snazzy animations, video, and custom domain? Is this a form of advertising for the security researchers?

- Rjevski 8y agoNot sure what the motivations are, but I think it's nice that vulnerabilities get their own bit of marketing and everything, as it can appeal to the non-tech crowd. Most people wouldn't give a shit about a paper or some technical info, but a nice-looking website and a video demonstrating it could interest them and at the very least make them aware that such mischief is actually possible.
- finnthehuman 8y agoIs this a form of advertising for the security researchers? Of course it is. Publishing this - at all - is advertising. Giving it a name and branding is an even more ostentatious form of it.
