A comment on “Worst cloud vulnerability you can imagine” discovered in Microsoft Azure. Parent comment
Knowledge required to find stuff like that is very scarse. And you have to know where to look for.
Chances to find something really big are so small that its not worth it to look for them finnancially.
Thats why ppl don’t do that often. They do it if they have long cooperation history with given company because they are treated as an employee.
TL;DR is that you don’t want to encourage ppl to start looking. All software has bugs, so its only a matter of time until someone finds something.
