Yes, because when you go public with the issue you are able to control the narrative. Bad judgement to assume that these issues will never reach the public eye. Especially knowing that a patched was successfully applied...instead Google looks like it is having trouble living up to it's Don't Be Evil motto.
- lostmsu 8y agoNo, they would have to issue like 10 reports a day. Bugs that are never exploited in web sites are rarely published for multiple reasons. Definitely not something to blame Google for.
- hoos97 8y agoIf it wasn't exploited makes it even better...shows that you are being aggressive in identifying issues and applying corrections. Take advantage of opportunities to show transparency in a good light as well as meet your commitments to be transparent when events have not gone your way. This shouldn't be about how many reports you have to issue. Google can afford the staff to make that happen.
- SahAssar 8y agoThat's probably not how end users would see it though. If there was a report every other day that google or facebook found and fixed a security bug people would either ignore it or trust another company that wasn't as open much more.
