I'm really sick of companies disclosing this shit late Friday afternoon.

Go fuck yourselves.

Sincerely, Everyone in the industry

It's the second time they do that in a few weeks too, _and_ it's not on their security page [1] which promises transparency.

It is listed on their security advisories page, which you can navigate to from that link:

Thank you for your feedback. Next time, we'll disclose it on Saturday evening.

Also, are there any repercussions for this kind of stuff? I don't know, fines from the organizations they get compliance certifications from or something.

No repercussions, sadly.

Those compliance companies are (mostly) all just checking a box. It's (mostly) security theater from people who wouldn't know security if it bit them in the nether regions.

Even if that wasn't true, there's probably no box in any compliance regime that says "Yes, we loudly promulgate our security failures from the nearest rooftop on 10am on a weekday" (and it's always five o'clock somewhere, right?)

If it helps (I know it doesn't), the Executive Branch likes to do this with poor job number revisions, too, lol

Doesn't have to be targeted for it to be shitty behavior.
