Earlier quoted context omitted.

It seems there's suspiciously little context available, yet here I also am commenting on a 'vaguepost'. I wonder if one day AI will be able to filter out vagueposts from my browser along with ragebait and curiosity gap headlines.

If AI does that it’ll make us 10x readers

Indeed, however:

    10 x 0.1 = 1

From what I can tell, the message is When you discover an exploit, only communicate with source (and pray they respond) or get sued. Seems like the position is customers and stakeholders shouldn't be allowed access to this information.

That's actually very common even with respected bug bounty programs. Communicating exploits to anyone else (let alone the general public) will at the very least make you ineligible for rewards.

>The letter further asserts claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Adafruit accessed only information that Flux’s own systems made publicly available through a server misconfiguration A confession

They vibe coded their system and it showed Adafruit something? Or showed some information with trivial prodding? Sounds like your average cross-tenant leak. Maybe showing more than intended or some caching issue. Many options some not really not fault of Adafruit.

hi everyone, phil and limor here, any questions for now, email press@adafruit.com limor and i are very much looking forward to telling our story.

I'm curious, but I'm not sure if you can say - has Adafruit ever published anything about Flux?

It might be being suggested in that statement, but to me that reads that there's a potential opportunity there for a delayed AMA on this?

That if people were to email press@adafruit.com with a subject line (for example) of 'FLUX - AMA for later', these questions could be rounded up and the responses could then go onto a Adafruit blog page later, when and if applicable?
