But imagine, if he had told them a year ago, perhaps the locks would be mostly replaced with a fixed version by now! I think it's unbelievable that he wouldn't disclose this information because he "just knows" they wouldn't do anything. He's not a damn mind reader. Hell, he might even be right, but you've still got to give the company the chance.


May I suggest you read up on some more stories about disclosure in the security industry. There have been many, many people before him that wanted to give them that chance and they've been sorely disappointed, time and time again. Hell you don't even know if Daeken maybe gone through this route from, you know, his own experience?

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, and I'm supposed to be a damn mind reader?!
