> Significance: Very Critical I'm very pro-disclosure. I do see a point in disclosing flaws in software or hardware we might use. I do see a point in reporting flaws in websites we rely on (banks, online shops). Hey, there might even be a weak case for shaming security vendors, IT companies, or fellow professionals by exposing flaws on their sites; it's mean, but it may have some value.
But I'm puzzled at to what's the point in telling the world about a generic flaw in soup-maker's website, where - really - the number of people even marginally affected is truly negligible? Talk to them, tell them, have it fixed; if they're nice, they might even give you a gift or some sort (year's worth of instant noodles, I'm thinking). Blog it if you find it important to tell others about your achievement, but really, that's where it should end. /mz _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
