Marc Maiffret spoke on CNN earlier today about the Palestinian IT specialist, Khalil Shreateh, who exposed a Facebook security flaw and due to miscommunication, was not awarded a bounty for his work. A quick excerpt and a link to the interview are below. "He found a great vulnerability in Facebook, he tried to report it responsibly in his own way, and I think it would be the right thing to support him and send a good message. So that folks like him who continue to report it to the Facebooks of the world versus selling it for a lot more money in the underground...This was a pretty big bug." - Marc Maiffret
