Reporting Vulnerabilities Is For The Brave

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cya-first-and-always dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A recent post on the CERIAS weblogs examines the risks associated with reporting vulnerabilities. In the end, he advises that the risks (in one situation, at least) were almost not worth the trouble, and gives advice on how to stay out of trouble. Is it worth it to report vulnerabilities despite the risks, or is the chilling effect demonstrated here too much?"

    Learn to spell. People might start taking you seriously, instead of just an idiot with a chip on his shoulder.

    Don't blame native speakers for complaining about your spelling when you are posting on a native-speaking forum.
    You must be aware that your spelling skills are imperfect, so please use a spellchecker, or try harder.
    Certainly, don't be angry with them for pointing this out.
