If bpchaps would mess with Comcast directly then maybe; if he sold the knowledge somewhere else than not really. I don't recall hearing of any case where a hack was traced all the way back to the third party that found and sold the vulnerability.



Well considering it's Comcast, I'd be more then happy to "accidentally" disclose those vulnerabilities.


Yeah, it's one of those companies that are really asking for it. In some cases it's hard to do the ethical thing :).


The thought crossed my mind. ;)

But being able to say "$GOODTHING happened because of me" felt so much better. It just means in the end that 50% of my meals are lentil based :P.
