Haha, oh boy, between AMD and MS, I predict some zero-days in the near future from people like Paul (the researcher here) just selling the exploit.

    As they should, it's the only reasonable response to how these companies act.

    The whole fragile construct of ethical disclosure sits on people/companies aknowledging it, playing along and not intentionally fucking it up. It is a cherished grape of vine that demonstrates - healthy tendencies do exist in our societies, we can sometimes communicate with each other and pursue a common good in spite of our destructive urges. Refusing to give a symbolical prize incomparable to the cost they could save, AMD and others mishandle the thing they treat as a given while completely unprepared to the state where it's gone, just like a teenager thinking they'd top the game and lose virginity when/if zombie apocalypse happens.
