[citation][nom]illo[/nom]so basically a guy found out a security flaw, wanted to charge eharmony for it, eharmony said no, and now they got hacked?seems kinda....deserved?[/citation]
[citation][nom]gurboura[/nom]So, someone finds a flaw, and they don't want to pay them for finding the flaw? Wouldn't it be easier to just pay the guy and get it over with without having bad press of being hacked?[/citation]
Guy: I found a security issue with your website, you should fix it, and do I get a finders fee?
eHarmony: We don't believe you, no finders fee, but would you be interested in trying out our relationship website (no Homos!)?
Guy: Uh, no thanks on the relationships, and yes, you do have a flaw, I'll prove it.
*guy hacks eharmony*
eHarmony: Hacker! Foul Villain!
media: Vile hacker targets dating website, eHarmony claims they were "working on a fix" to an issue they had already discovered in-house, and had confirmed to exist with an independent security agent.
I'm not saying all hackers are peaceful, far from it. But with these stories, you never know what truth you're getting.
