How do you know if a company is going to pay to fix?
Do you just have to take a chance and notify them?
Either I make a bunch of money, or they say fuck off, or they send me to jail? It seems too iffy
I assume the idea is, that the company then has a contract with the hacker, so they can no longer sue him. They essentially hack themselves via proxy.
