The FBI sleeps when libraries burn
This guy is outing the archive for terrible security posture by bringing attention to it because they received disclosures and did not fix them.
Don’t get shit twisted - he’s the hero here. IA fucked up and has been vulnerable to manipulation by any number of corporate or national actors this entire time.
You don’t leak a passwords database publicly on the Internet in good faith.
If they were really “the hero”, they’d follow the bare minimum of responsible disclosure best practices, and allow 90 days between privately alerting them of the issue and going public with it. Two weeks is absurd.
90 days is just the standard timeframe for responsible disclosure. And normally that’s just a baseline with additional time being given if there’s genuine communication going on and signs they’re addressing the problem.
