I don't think disclosure of reported security issues is really a norm, unless the firm finds evidence the bug was exploited (by someone other than the reporter). It's a good thing to do, but I think the majority of stuff that gets reported everywhere is never disclosed --- with the major and obvious exception of consumer or commercial software that needs to be updated "on prem". |

The problem I have with it is that there's no way they could have determined if an API key was stolen or not, even to this day.
Basically, their docs (which seemed auto-generated) pointed to a domain they did not own (verified this). So if you ran any API examples you sent your keys to a 3rd party. I know because I did this. There's no way to know that the domain in the docs is simply wrong.
I tried explaining this to the support people, that I needed to talk with a software engineer but they kept stonewalling. I think it was fixed after 24 hours or so.
