Not OP but you don't need 100s of staff monitoring the forum. You need a webhook that filters on "security" in the title and post it in the relevant slack channel. I do expect UI have a 24/7 paid support/security team and I'm sure someone could say "uh, this looks real what's going on?"

Ah yes the typical engineer response of "just <insert system>".
Yes, damn those engineers for coming up with solutions to problems I personally believe are unsolvable based on nothing but personal feelings.

Ignoring the fact that flagging when certain keywords are posted is probably built into the forum software itself... I had that with phpbb back in 2001.

I just find it funny when engineers trivialize solutions that they themselves wouldn't employ. Like yeah, I'm sure your phpbb solution was a proper vulnerability reporting and triaging system.
