No, mistakes are unintentional, bringing explosives to school is.
You can, on the other hand, claim it's irresponsible, but there are many devs here who can testify that mistakes do happen and do recur in software projects. You need more evidence than "the same mistake happened twice" to imply irresponsibility.
- argvargc 5y agoThere is a point where the potential consequences of a software flaw are so great that failing to fix it properly - after being informed of it - can understandably be seen as negligence.
- neiman 5y agoAs far as I understood they fixed the first bug. This is a new one.
- meowface 5y agoIt's not clear if the author reported the newly found vulnerabilities, though. I think most security researchers agree that public disclosure is the only recourse if an entity repeatedly refuses to acknowledge or fix a serious vulnerability. But you have to give them fair opportunities to understand and try to address the vulnerabilities before resorting to that.
