No one is doing 16 step exploits unless you're a huge target in some way. 0.0000001% of companies fit that bill. And even then, ok, what did they get? An account login? What are they doing to do? Read email? Then what? "Use it for social engineering"? Who cares, you have MFA right? You have a firewall? You don't allow people to randomly jump from box to box via RDP? You have basic security and auditing on your fileshares? EVEN THEN, what, they get a spreadsheet from your last town hall meeting? I'm also tired of pretending that 99.999% of the data in a company even matters. Unless they have some way to cryptolock your whole company, AND you don't have backups/snapshots without any basic access security, there isn't a lot of value to be taken. Security "teams" are a bunch of fucking busybodies with nothing to do. Pay for a competent admin team and the security dept is completely redundant and useless.

That’s a whole lot of “we” to not mention which company you’re at that supposedly plays well with security researchers/has a proper bug bounty.

Even if the company doesn't have a big bounty publishing exploit code without warning them is unethical. Moreover, a lot of these projects are FOSS without a company which could pay bug bounties.
