- astrange 4y agoStrange lack of detail there. What was the actual point of exposure? I wonder if that was a latent security issue that wasn't actually exploited. They did have problems like state actors getting spies hired and leaking data directly of course.
- brigandish 4y agoI would hazard that they weren’t in a position to know or be sure, given the whistleblower’s revelations, but also that they wouldn’t be publicising random bugs from their bug tracker without reason.
