"Glenn Mangham, 26, had earlier admitted infiltrating the social networking website between April and May 2011." I just checked my old emails and found XSS vulnerabilities I reported to Facebook, under their responsible disclosure policy but prior to the introduction of the bug bounty program, from late 2010 / early 2011. His timeline doesn't match reality.

Granted it looks like they had a policy but it's possible that not many people were aware of it. I don't know anyone that reads the lengthy ToS or policy documents of companies they deal with and they didn't seem to give it much promotion until after this incident. He does specifically say bug bounty programme and not the policy so I'm willing to give him that. If a company has a stance they do need to promote it and perhaps have stronger wording than we might not hang you out to dry.
