I found this title confusing. For those who didn't make it toward the end of the article: the leaked emails didn't cost them anything (except their time and ingenuity), and they received 10k as the bug bounty.
I thought they meant providing the services to leak the email of any user for $10K, perhaps per user. :)
> That params is nothing more than just base64 encoded protobuf, which is a common encoding format used throughout Google. Pour one out for the google dev in charge of b64 encoding their fancy binary message format so it can be jammed inside a JSON blob. If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot with "worse is better" imprinted on the sole stomping on an engineer's face, forever.
It's everywhere and it's the worst. I sometimes ponder whether or not the volume of protobuf bytes represented as b64 encoded protobuf in JSON exceeds that of actual protobuf bytes sent over the wires of the internet, and then I pour one out for myself.
If only there were some way to easily send this binary gzip data to this API that accepts JSON...

Don't oversell the place. It also has it's down-sides.

The only problem is that it puts the most important information last and the least important first (going by "what do I most likely need to see and cannot infer from context", ie I likely already know the year and possibly the month).
Who cares? How much time are you going to lose from that? Like, 0.15s every time you read a date. Big woop.
