I don’t know what “gingerly” means, but you are right in this assumption. I only own small side projects sites, but the article felt like a useful warning to me in case I receive such a message some day.
I am more inclined to agree with you than before your reply, your point of view makes sense. I would still call the article more “helpful” than “gross” though.
- tptacek 5y ago"There's lots of annoying, unsolicited, bad bug bounty submissions" is a useful thing to point out, even if it's probably too boring for Troy's core audience to stand on its own. The phenomenon he's describing is real. Honestly: if he hadn't brought up that he was called out for this and tried to rebut it, I wouldn't have thought to write about it. But he did, and, like I said, his argument is pretty weak.
