Because of resume-padding minority (i hope) of security researchers, that aim to hang new pair of antlers over their fireplace at any cost, this is automatically primed to blow up.

you have no time to test, debug, or anything, really (it is a holiday) so the attending security gnome simply fwd this to devs and cc upper gnome, that fwd it to authorities.
authorities: we issue massive security risk warning!
imagine the level of competence and common sense needed at all stages of this chain to avoid these kinds of herd runs.
- hyperman1 3y agoLet the security community send their reports to the governement, in exchange for indemnification. If the gov gets bothered by too many useless reports, I am sure they can deal with the reporter. In fact, an active security incident is a crime. You can as well report it to the police,it's basically the reason they exist.
