"Maybe it's because he's one of several people to disclose the same vulnerability"

The thing that gets me about this whole situation is that Facebook either didn't understand the extent of the vulnerability (which seems to be the case to me, and in which case I think Wes Wineberg should have been rewarded far greater than they did for showing them how serious it was, though I wouldn't say this is literally a "million dollar" bug) or they were grossly negligent for not patching it up a lot sooner than they did. They can't have it both ways.

Are they bad at managing their bug bounty program, or just bad at responding to serious security issues? It has to be one or the other.
