This is why I said somewhat off topic as it could be like you said or it could a valid concern. I can’t really tell the intent. Irregardless I think it’s a good call to open a ticket. The amount of times I’ve seen something come from an innocuous user report is frightening.

Actually rereading it again I would say the source is the person that opened the ticket and not a member of the security team.

Yes, I would argue that this supports my thesis - that the ticket was, at least partially created for humorous effect.

If they were taking the matter completely seriously, I would not expect them to consider publicizing it, or discussing the ticket publicly after the fact.
