FYI, Homakov started out with a slightly different tone, over a year ago, and posted a few items to HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3791281, which got flagged to death, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3778158).

The reception he got here was really not great.

Public ridicule is sometimes a good tool to move people into action. Sometime not the best approach, but, it's funny for those who dedicate their lives to doing this kind of work.

In the security community there's a pretty deep-rooted sense of humor towards "unexpected enlightenment". It's not really directed at anybody - It's mostly directed towards the mindset or theme of ignorance.

(At least, socially...)

How i belttile target and whats wrong with disclosure after paypal refuses to fix?

Sure, but PayPal is stupid and deserves the condescending tone, so it's not annoying in my opinion.

People who refuse to fix security flaws when informed of them are being stupid, yes?

His writings do carry a condescending tone, with a faint "l33t hax0r" taste. I think it might be a case of a sudden fame multiplied by the teen spirit :)

I would give people the benefit of the doubt. Especially when they're writing in a language that isn't their mother tongue.

Condescending tone? Where omg
