He did post a redacted version. Then JYA accused him of everything from
faking the data to being a spy.
When we post about vulns on FD/ wherever, we follow the process of
notifying and following up before posting publicly - which we only do when
devs or corps refuse to acknowledge or outright deny. Right? That's
exactly how he went about it, and then was attacked in a most nonsensical
manner (we didn't even get a notorious JYA poetic diatribe!)
In addition, as previously mentioned, these datasets have been in the wild
for > 1yr. As someone who may have found my own data in the access logs, I
still say he did the right thing.
