Exploiting bugs to impact real users is not acceptable behavior for a white hat
It's pretty arrogant of Facebook to redefine the meaning of white hat don't you think? Posting to the Facebook founders page to let them know of a security vulnerability is not malicious, plain and simply, not. Trying to steer the embarrassment of your failings because this guy didn't read your TOS is incredibly hypocritical.
- webvictim 13y agoUsing a bug to post to said founder's page against his will is definitely not white hat behaviour. Period.
