      Can someone explain in 3 twitter responses or less why it's a problem that @Tavis announces on Twitter he's found a cool bug? Any takers?

      In no way do I suspect Tavis of malicious intent. I much prefer to get the vulnerability found and handed over. Full Stop.

      Right I think you're clearly stating that Tavis isn't being intentionally/willfully malicious, just that it creates volatility for your org?

      For all of Windows orgs plus all Windows customers. They can't do anything with this except have heartburn.

      We already know Microsoft are sitting on undisclosed vulnerabilities they release every second Tuesday. What does this change?

      thousands of people trying to enjoy time with their families not get bombarded with "what is Tavis talking about" questions all weekend.

      It's twitter. I'm getting bombarded all weekend by threads arguing about whether it's ethical to state the fact that "bugs exist".

      Of course it's ethical. But does it have a point in this case? Was this for them or for you? What was the goal?

      Yes, I value transparency, and think projecting an image of software invulnerability is dangerous. I think challenging that is important.

          I think that if tweeted once a day "I found a bug in Windows" (which is true) I'd be providing a similar level of actionable information.

          I value it too. I'd like the details on the vuln and details on the patch at the same time. One without the other is useless.

          Nice to challenge that, but all you have done for me of late is create unneeded panic.
