As someone basically birthed with a computer and not much help to get anything to work, and the pride not to ask, the capacity for troubleshooting seems like an innate skill but it simply isn't. And for that reason I'm not sure how to train it.
A researcher found critical Windows zero-days.
Reported them to Microsoft.
Microsoft denied the bug bounty.
Deleted their account.
Banned them from GitHub.
Then threatened criminal charges.
The researcher dropped six zero-days in six weeks.
Three got used in real attacks within days.
Other researchers are now handing them free vulnerabilities as a gift.
Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit is considering legal action.
Against the person whose bugs they refused to pay for.
This is Microsoft’s bug bounty program.

That ends today, with the launch of my new, free service: sentence2IPv6
