Indeed. I guess the best practical argument is sharing them securely is hard. Which is very true. However if it's not possible for two security researchers to exchange data then what hope is there for the rest of us?

I get he doesn't want to do that and that is his prerogative. However, it does feel like we're so scared of things falling into the wrong hands that we hobble our ability to defend against hacks in the first place.

I would imagine if there are any security researchers he trusts sharing the data with, they wouldn't need to email him out of the blue for it, nor need to discuss it with the rest of us.

But no, there is likely no hope, lol
