This sends a worrying message to others - in future don't bother reporting vulnerabilities to Prezi, just obtain the source and sell exploits to the highest bidder.

It's no wonder security researchers turn to black hat methods, when they're treated/compensated like shit for their effort. "Swag" in return for your source code? What a joke

"It's no wonder security researchers turn to black hat methods" -- this seems such a binary and pointless reduction of the options available. Yes, Prezi could have turned this into a PR and security win, and failed to capitalize; but the assumption that now the only option for a security researcher is to turn to the dark side is... pretty ridiculous.

Those who "turn to blackhat methods" do so because they want to make money and don't place a premium on the potential moral/legal/ethical issues at play in how they're doing it. They make a choice, irrespective of the shortsightedness on display by Prezi here. Don't conflate the two behaviors.
