Github compromised, or not?!Github compromised, or not?!Posted Mar 5, 2012 21:28 UTC (Mon) by Wol (guest, #4433)In reply to: Github compromised, or not?! by aliguori Parent article: Github compromised
You miss the point.
The bug was already "in the wild". The people responsible for fixing it had said "not a problem". Somebody WAS going to exploit it.
Better a white-hat embarassing the project in public for being stupid, than a black-hat actually pulling off a damaging crack.
I repeat - THE BUG WAS ALREADY PUBLISHED AND IN THE WILD.
Cheers,

GitHub was responsible for fixing the problem, not the Rails community. And the problem wasn't reported to GitHub per their official response.
