>this is pretty irresponsible disclosure.
This is what corporations claim, an example that makes you think about the "irresponsibility" of disclosure is the Intel security bugs, Intel sits quiet for 1 year (and more if it's bribe would have worked) and customers are tricked to buy insecure products. As a possible future customer you would like to know that something is insecure before you buy it , keeping it hidden will just increase the number of affected people.
- dfabulich 7y agoYou're worried about future customers, but what about Tesla's existing customers? For their sake, researchers should at least give the company a chance to respond and fix the issue before public disclosure. I agree that a year is too long. I think 30 days is about right, but it depends on how fast the product is selling, how many new customers might be harmed during the 30-day period vs. how many existing customers there are. How many customers do you think have already purchased a PowerWall, vs. how many would have purchased in the next 30 days?
- simion314 7y agoI would agree if and only if is a super hard to find issue, but if any curious teenager can find and abuse this then keeping is secret is making more harm. If your car had a bug where it could be controlled remotely by any teenager with a laptop and a program do you want to know and stop using the car or block it's internet connection or prefer Tesla has it's 90 days to find a fix. Anyway let's see what harm comes from this being revealed and maybe I will change my mind.
