> terms of service agreement Are those the documents, often dozens of pages of barely understandable legalese word salad, that we've conditioned nearly everyone to click past? While I certainly agree that people share way too much data, I personally think hiding behind "it's in the terms of service agreement" is getting quite tired when they are designed in such a way that you are encouraged to skip past it, and they…

What makes you think you're entitled to anything, let alone a "normal" life, in this world? No one forces you to live in and participate in society, but if you choose to, it's at your own risk.

This reply seems rather… unrelated to my comment. But perhaps it'd be a fun philosophical debate at some other time.

Shame is absolutely a valuable tool for change. Without it society would not function since many of our 'rules' are self-enforced.

Nope, shame is ineffective as a tool for change. More often people shut down or ignore you if you attempt to shame them than actually make the change you want. Besides, it's frequently just about vengeance anyway. Shame is really hate of other, for the most part. As a tool for oppression however, yes it's quite effective.

Shame isn't always for oppression, although it certainly can be - it's also a pretty useful tool to impose reasonable rules that allow you to live peacefully among your neighbors.

How much would this leak go for in the darknet?

Deciding to sell this on the darknet is a life changing decision, white to black overnight and imagine not really something most would contemplate. Payment in BTC probably from an already compromised address so loads of factors. Probably an easy + quick 2BTC though

I feel like for a pro-level security person, 2 btc is not worth stressing about it for approx five years after that your whole career can be taken down at any time, as security ppl can absolutely not get jobs if they have a criminal file

It's not clear if the author was hired to do this pentest or is a guerilla/good samaritan. If it is indeed the latter, I wonder how they are so brazen about it. Does chattr.ai have a responsible disclosure policy? In my eyes people should be free to pentest whatever as long as there is no intent to cause harm and any findings are reported. Sadly, many companies will freak out and get the law involved, even if you are…

Lack of proper regulations, engineering standards, and tangible fines means that the only democracy that exists is the people themselves taking action. The corps being hacked have plenty of malicious intent, perhaps focus on that.

Weird, I don't feel nearly as touchy about some ones and zeros on a computer as I do my physical body's safety, without which I would not exist.

OK, make the comparison more direct, then. Say you have a filing cabinet with all of your important and \ or embarrassing documents in it. Are you OK with houseguests giving the handle a little wiggle when they come over to check if its locked? What about the neighborhood kids?

This is extremely annoying. Instead of fucking with other people’s companies why not build your own? You pwned them? What are you twelve? All you did was commit a felony and post it online.

I'll bite -- he discovered a vulnerability in a large company and responsibly disclosed it to them. How is that a felony? Why would you post a felony online?

If I understand correctly, the article was published only after the vulnerability was patched. That sounds OK to me.
