I won't bother hunting and reporting more Sony zero-days, because all I'd get is a lousy t-shirt

And this....

..is why the Sony Pictures Hack happened. Cause they simply don't give a fuck.

Cocks.

I got offered free magnets from a very small online store, years ago that wasn't using HTTPS on their store page & I wanted to order from them due to being the only ones that sold the tiny powerful magnets to stick in models :)

Free magnets. Great.

Anyway. Others I've reported I've just been ignored but then seen them fix said issue a few days later. Another company replied back quite defensive who, it was clear, had been running unsecure for years from the previous owners. And local gov and other small companies use this site! They've fixed some of the reported issues but not the rest and then stopped replying to my e-mails. And the biggest one that was ignored was Twitter. I reported to them years ago, once signed in, if you went to reset your password, their code would sometimes push you to a http page instead of https. I reported it, was totally ignored so I disclosed the issue on YouTube. A tech and security journo picked the story up and they listened to him (I'd never heard of the guy, I just happened to come across his blog post one day) and he put in a mention that I'd reported it and been ignored.

I don't really bother much now.
