There should be strong protections for security researchers, and anyone reporting a security flaw should receive the benefit of the doubt. To the extend we fail

There should be strong protections for security researchers, and anyone reporting a security flaw should receive the benefit of the doubt. To the extend we fail to do this we are sacrificing national security in exchange for the convenience of companies.

It’s so dumb. They come to you to tell you you have a problem. Why would you accuse them of anything…

  Because it’s Germany and things are done here the German way. It’s all sovereign and maybe we can stick some iso on it. Look, everything works as expected. The law worked, police stopped the perpetrator, the hack has been prevented, customer data is now safe.

    Is your statement a justification for punishing this researcher or sarcasm of the situation? Hard for me to infer. If the former, then it’s only a matter of time where you are so confused as to why/how your entire nations infrastructure gets completely borked because there was a proliferation of such juvenile vulnerabilities that were illegal to be disclosed to the appropriate authorities. This researcher deserves better. They tried to make society more safe and were punished :(

      It's sarcasm. They tried to indicate that without /s by including "maybe we can stick some iso on it"
