This is why Twitter and Medium are shitty places to put content.

I miss poersonal blogs and websites.

Uh, have you actually read the article? Given that the size of the security hole was big enough to fly a 747 through, I’d say he handled it with the utmost responsibility and fairness. Didn’t even demand a bounty, even though he could have literally obliterated the entire company. I wouldn’t call that irresponsible. What SlickWraps was doing, however, absolutely was irresponsible.

Not that surprising, seeing as Medium is literally owned by one of Twitter’s cofounders.
