Ugggh. I hate it when companies pull that shit. Just wastes law enforcements time and tarnishes the companies reputation. It always backfires spectacularly but some of them still try it rather than saying "thank you" and maybe paying a bug bounty reward to encourage people to not just sell the information to a certain Israeli cyber-weapons firm. Apple used to be famous for doing this shit and even they eventually caved after realizing it was counter productive.
It's shitty. Hunting down bugs and exploits is a clear social good, but capitalists view it as a threat bc it's often expensive to mitigate the exploit, especially if it's hardware or firmware. Getting the cops involved in just dirty. The cops very likely don't have any sympathy for a random white-hat hacker trying to do a good thing, especially once they get in to a "threat to national security" attitude. I hope Naomi is okay. She's really vulnerable as an out lesbian and just being an outrageously stylish person. : p
