> I find everyone talking about black markets etc. kind of ridiculous. Really? You would sell something like this, so someone can be spied upon or maybe literally chopped to pieces? Jesus, not everything is about money - it was a fun challenge to chain it all together and I learned a lot from it.

Slack is directly taking advantage of that being the only alternative. You can do whatever you want with the money. However, having a robust bug bounty program ensures a wide range of people are both willing and able to look for and report vulnerabilities. This needs to be a requirement for any large successful company handling a large amount of user data. Slack can definitely afford it, and this can be used against them the next time they report a breach.
