#4Company finds a security vulnerability caused by a bug. Logs show that it has never been used by anyone. It patches the vulnerability.
[Honest question] Should the company announce it publicly?

Yes, because when you go public with the issue you are able to control the narrative. Bad judgement to assume that these issues will never reach the public eye. Especially knowing that a patched was successfully applied...instead Google looks like it is having trouble living up to it's Don't Be Evil motto.
