I guess I'll play devil's advocate here, don't shoot me. Over the course of my career I've had to deal with multiple hacks, DDOSes, and even situations working with the FBI. It's a mess, and extremely frustrating and unfair to those of us who are just trying to do a good job and make a living. Those of you who are throwing stones at Microsoft's coding, how confident are you that your code is safe from this new AI age…

Putting it out from "only a small group of people/companies exploit it" to the public is the way how you get it fixed. In this case it seems that was the only way that was left after Microsoft refuses cooperation. What counts are the results: This are fixed now.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you find a real iOS zero day that you think has a market value of 2 million, how do you (a) find a legit buyer for it, and (b) ensure you get paid, presumably in your own choice of cryptocurrency?

Are you asking for step by step instructions?
