ACK. This is the same level of coordination the security team received when a multitude of bugs were filed once ago discovered fuzzing. It was lots of bugs, little information, inabilities to reproduce various crashes, invalid ratings/severity levels, and often a blog that simply regurgitated the same inaccuracies. Any attempt to ask/coordinate was met with lack of information or simply "see my blog" responses. The only time interaction occured was when bugs were closed due to invalidity, lack of information, or severity/ratings downgraded. All this to say, I concur his actions seem to show that he believes his time is more precious than others and that "numbers matter" when it comes to opening bugs and CVE's. > To summarize, what your tinderboxing effort lacks is really a human > touch.
