Uniformed other than a few snippets from the blog but the researcher doesn't seem to be in a good place mentally. Understandable if what they claim is true, making them unreliable if it isn't.
Not victim blaming, but things aren't automatically true because they are anti Ms.
From what I've heard, the POC worked.
I think it's less being uncertain about the vulnerability and more about being uncertain about all the other drama surrounding it.
This Dormann fellow paints a believable picture of MSRC as an organization ruined by mismanagement and left incompetent and dysfunctional. A very banal scenario of failure that is familiar to anyone with experience with big businesses. Eclipse seems to see a more malicious intent and assumes that MSRC had it out for Eclipse personally from the onset for... some reason.
Eclipse may have found real stuff, but the communication style is a bit unhinged so it's hard to evaluate the surrounding drama. This unhinged communication style combined with a bureaucratic MSRC could lead to them not being able to understand Eclipse's attempt to explain.
The question is whether Eclipse was unhinged from the onset or understandably driven off the deep end by malicious treatment by MSRC. Both scenarios are believable, hence the sensible take away that we have one side of the story and while we should recognize that, we must also consider that an alternate scenario played out.
