They literally ruined it for everyone else for the publicity. Typical of PR obsessed white hat script kiddies.

- sp332 7y agoThere's nothing white-hat about this. He accessed as much private data as possible, and didn't report the vulnerability to Twitter or to affected users.
- MiroF 7y agothis is grey hat at best
- Buge 7y agoWhat was ruined? And who ruined it?
- dredmorbius 7y agoAccess to what had until then been an 0day. Ibrahim Balic "ruined" it, though public bragging (which is not responsible disclosure).
- Buge 7y agoRuining access to a 0day sounds like a good thing to me. I don't want people to have access to 0days. Some people dislike the term "responsible disclosure" and believe it's not a moral imperative: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:tptacek%20responsible%20disclosure&sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?query=author:tptacek%20responsible%2... Of course what Ibrahim did wasn't full disclosure either, so he shouldn't be fully congratulated. But bragging about it was better than keeping silent about it in this case.
