    Any APT group would have spent enormous time on securing this treasure trove, and moved to extortion.

    Corporations, like Microsoft, offering 5 grand to that in comparison seems just lackluster.

    Relationship and whatnot, pay that teenager 100k is what I'd say, really.

    Offering him a job, that would be cool too.

    In any case, I'm hoping stuff like this really remains a "once in a lifetime" opportunity for pen-testers and whatnot.

    Having the planet hacked twice a day makes for a stressful future for everyone.
