I and others have had issues of our servers being attacked by unkown evil doers. To keep our servers running we need to reverse engineer the hack and get the bug fixed or the attack vector blocked. Until '* Disclosure' in its many aspects was common it was virtually impossible to get vendors to fix open holes being actively used by attackers. The public shaming of '* Disclosure' large companies found denial a very easy and cheap resonse to bugs that were killing us.
Poor argument.
Maybe, but my real world example shows your simplistic logic is wrong.
If you is smart enough to is reverse engineer the threat, why can't you forward engineer a fix and post it publicly so that is others don't get hacked.
Who said I have not? But since that is a non-sequiter to my counter example to your argument, I'll leave that answer for another day.
Public shaming of not only is vendor of shoddy software, but is attacker, is key no one is think about.
