I think there's a balance to strike here. The fact that security researchers like the Project Zero people don't just publish exploit details and sample codes on day 1 suggests that it might not actually be in the best interest of users to do it. It may actually cause far more damage to the users than giving the manufacturers the standard time to patch. As a matter of fact every such disclosure made "irresponsibly/uncoordinated" on Twitter was universally condemned by security researchers and software providers alike.
Doing something "responsibly" isn't just the prerogative or duty of security researchers. It's a general term which means "putting thought into it".
- maxerickson 7y agoI think you are wrong about "universally". Probably widely condemned, I doubt it was universal, unless you are drawing convenient definitions where anyone who thought it was fine wouldn't be a security researcher.
