@GossiTheDog however, I think it this is also just poorly worded and "these actors" possibly means the "bad actors" into whose hands the PoCs have been placed by virtue of them being published on the Internet when, most typically, Microsoft has chosen not to engage / not to see things for the problem they are / not to bother patching in any kind of hurry

@GossiTheDog
Multi-Hundred billion dollar company can't handle vuln disclosure properly. Not saying it doesn't take two sides here, but one of them has a ridiculous budget to actually do something about it. -

@GossiTheDog Weird. Any idea on what motivated the strategy change? The threat makes it seem like it's more than just behind-the-scenes conflict

@GossiTheDog @lisihocke
Well… that was then but this is now.
Welcome to post… idk how to call it, maybe… post-Trump business, politics and law practices. -

I just skimmed over that #YellowKey thing. But the way I understand it... well: I don't know whether a responsible way to disclose such a blatantly backdoor-looking vulnerability even exists.

@GossiTheDog If researchers are going to be investigated by Microsoft anyway, may as well just sell it to the baddies for 10x the bounty and not even tell Microsoft.

@GossiTheDogAlmost like they are attempting to deflect... Maybe we should be a little bit more tin foil hat about this

@GossiTheDog Yeah Microsoft's boondoggle with just stealing people's IP (git-flow) isn't criminal but civil at least here in the UK where it's actionable at CDPA 1988. It becomes criminal if they are found in contempt afterwards... IANAL but I'm keeping abreast, there might be some goodies in the Digital Economy Act 2010 to defend against them but ugh Mandelson helped put that on the books.

@GossiTheDog “doxxed on Twitter” <— really? The few personal things I read were coming from nightmare-eclipse.
