That's a superiority complex. It can be seen especially well in Russia. I've read stories that their companies even start legal actions against white hackers that submit vulnerabilities to them.

- toolslive 5y agoNot only in Russia. I once accidentally discovered a vulnerability in a rather popular job search site (EU). I reported it to them only to be harassed by their legal department afterwards. No good deed shall go unpunished.
