- techntoke 7y agoGuess that is what happens when the lead developer makes comments like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19425361 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19425361
- ricardobeat 7y agoIs “Arathorn” the dev? I don’t see anything malicious in that comment. Why do you feel this way?
- techntoke 7y agoYes. I didn't say that I felt it was necessarily malicious, but that I guess that is what happens. If you look at the parent comments there is a lot more context and he accuses the other dev of maliciously exploiting security issues after discovering them. Would seem likely that he is the one responsible then.
- Arathorn 7y agoI don’t follow the logic here at all, fwiw. If someone discovers a vuln and then exploits it rather than disclosing it... why does that make me responsible?
- techntoke 7y agoI'm saying the dev you were referring to that you personally have issues with is likely the individual that hacked Matrix.
