I wish I didn’t have to scroll this far to find your rational perspective. Lets take the famous LockPickingLawyer of YouTube, is he responsible for every crime where the thief defeats a lock that he has demonstrated the weaknesses of? I would say “no!”.
Exposing a weakness puts the onus of securing said weaknesses on those that sell technology/devices/services that market themselves as “secure”.
- burrows 4y agoThis is just some rationalization that security nerds like to regurgitate on each other.

- burrows 4y ago> Exposing a vulnerability in a public forum is the fastest way to patch said vulnerability. Unjustified empirical claim. And even if it were true, it would still be insufficient for justifying public disclosure, classic is-ought. Also, only nerds stand up for security nerds.
