On: Ask HN: Found a major vuln in competitor's software. What now?

[logn]

Forget you knew this and get back to your life. Did we learn nothing from Weev? Do you think your competitor might like seeing you in federal prison? All it takes is one jerk at your competitor's company (or any of their investors) to call in the feds.

[tptacek → logn]

If he actually exploits the vulnerability, calling the police doesn't make them jerks.
