It all started because the bureaucracy refused to even consider Bluehammer when they couldn't cajole the reporter into providing video footage.
And then to double down and ban accounts because you'd rather not fix the bureaucracy is really just a bad look. I'm not quite sure why MS is getting the benefit of the doubt from you.
They also silently patched RedSun, didn't issue a CVE until much later.
There's something fishy going on with these vulnerabilities. I'm not one for conspiracies but it's not a good look for Microsoft, they are obviously trying to cover something up.
They're not. These programs make decisions I wouldn't make all the time (though for reasons more complicated than message board discussions capture). I'm making a much narrower claim than you think I am.
