Very few people would even have the knowledge of who, how, or where to "sell" such vulnerabilities. Going through a public bounty program is pretty much always preferable.
replyMost people don't want to be felons.
Don't worry, as more and more people get put of of work by AI the number of people willing to be felons will increase. Hell, they might even become president.
replyThe president can't be a felon by definition, because it's legal to do absolutely anything if you're the president.
replyThe legality of most activities doesn't change, but you can't be prosecuted while you're president.
replyI am sure this is a crime, but what crime?
replyI think people who can hack, also know where they can sell it
replyAnyone can "hack". It's not really a skill anymore.
replyThe recent South Korean hacker reportedly wasn't a hacker at all, just asked Claude to handle it.
replyI'm not that kind of hacker, but I guarantee I could be, complete with an abliterated model on my local rig, in a few minutes. Claude would happily set it all up for me, too.
In reality, I suppose I'm about to keep my rig busy staying ahead of the hackers.
I'm sure there are places that would sue you for that, and it's not worth the bother. Bug bounties really compete mostly with people like me who would say, "Haha, I found an issue with Meta; they're gigantic idiots." And then make an X post or anything about it.
