Exactly! I was sitting there scratching my head on this one. I get that Joe Shmoe wouldn't understand the risks of a MITM and the potential areas it could be exploited, even John Q Programmer I wouldn't guarantee to understand the risks. But a person working at Hacker One who's job is assessing vulnerabilities doesn't understand the threat of a MITM? What?! Does everyone at Hacker One think the whole move to HTTPS was just pointless security theater or something? How is that possible? How does this chain of events even happen? It looks like the author spoke to multiple people at Hacker One who were genuinely not understanding the threat, after it was explained to them. We must be missing some side of this here. That's too absurd to be real.
