Holy fuck what kind of turds are these? Their "temporary" bounty boost listing includes specifically Moodle.
That's an application that will be used by minors to a large extent, meaning they're literally leaving kids the world around unsafe.
How any of this can be legal is beyond me.
Btw they're also targeting pidgin, I'm imagining this might be related to OTR sessions over tor...?
Edit: remembered moodle is used by universities as well, so not overwhelminly but still....
Edit 2: IMHO working or having worked for one of these companies should be a career ending move. Simply not acceptable to be working in this field anymore. Not by legal means of course, but as an industry we should simply consider people who were willing to sign a contract with these criminals to be unemployable. "Sorry we don't do business with turds."
>as an industry we should simply consider people who were willing to sign a contract with these criminals to be unemployable.
By that same logic we coul include mass ad/surveillance companies like Google and Facebook to the list. IMHO those do way more damage to society as a whole. Where do we draw the line?
The fact that drawing any specific line is always wrong to an extent, and that it is difficult, is not a good argument against drawing a line at all.
We have tons of jobs you're even legally not allowed to do, no matter how profitable. We're literally talking about people who deal in vulnerabilities in software used by minors, with the express intent of keeping these open.
In my book, that is beyond the line. Change my mind.
