Yeah - but it's 100% clear from this that FB wanted to brush the RCE under the carpet with a "not at all severe $2500" classification - without ever admitting to losing their private ssl keys or auth token seeds.

He clearly _did_ have a "security vulnerability" that gave him the keys to the kingdom. He knew it, and Facebook know it - and they wanted to pretend it was no big deal.

Any bets on how many months till there's a large-scale breach of Facebook user data? The reality of the balance between responsible disclosure and selling an exploit is much easier to evaluate now.

That certainly is the fun and exciting way to read this story.
