      Correct. The point of that tweet was saying that even when there's a bug bounty, AND even when an organization has a vuln reporting front door (meaning their regular security@apple.com email address), vulns might come in via social media, & to prepare to route them correctly.https://twitter.com/i0n1c/status/935608248027303936 …

      PS A bug bounty on MacOS would not have prevented this disclosure via Twitter.

      Apparently it was being discussed on their developer forums for weeks, the users didn't understand it was a security bug.

      I get that on GitHub for .net. It’s frustrating because I really want to pay out but for GitHub issues I can’t.

      Replying to @blowdart @taviso @k8em0

      Ordinary folks don’t see a bug that crashes their app as a DoS in the underlying hosting layer. Then even if they report it sometimes it gets lost in triage because they didn’t use the right language or provide a repo.

      It’s not something to get angry or annoyed about. We can’t expect people to act like security researchers because they’re not. They don’t know what to do and it’s truly hard to discover. That’s our failing as an industry, not theirs.

      Yes, but even then, you can't make everyone happy. Different people want mutually exclusive things, even if you try to compromise, people will complain you didn't use their obviously optimal procedure.

          Yup. For example I’ve wanted to slap bounty contact on GitHub templates but others objected due to noise.

          I’ve given up on making people happy, I just try to get them secure as soon as I can. Happy is optional.
