I wonder if there’s a way that you can legally monetize the process, so the organisation who left a gaping hole … or several bazillion in this case … gets an education in corporate security and the researcher gets paid for their efforts. A corporate symbiosis if you like.
If course the non legal way is extortion … but that tends to go towards warfare and mutually assured destruction, rather than collaboration.
Perhaps this opens the door to a white hat penetration testing department at the corporate regulator who issues fines (which pay for the work) … but I’m not seeing any evidence of an appetite for anything even remotely resembling such a set-up anywhere on Earth.
Yeah … that thought occurred to me as well.

Espionage on the other hand …
