This is not about that. This is about a security researcher that wasn't paid by Microsoft's bug bounty program when they found a security bug.
Bug bounty programs exist to prevent this exact scenario. To give people a reward for privately disclosing the vulnerability with the devs instead of publicly/to a bad actor.
AMD fucked up recently about that as well. It seems big tech is getting so arrogant and so far up its own ass that they can't even admit to bugs anymore, which is problematic considering their sloppy AI slop never had so many bugs as it does now.
Honestly, it's the opposite: AI is exposing so many bad security bugs that they are having a hard time keeping up.
That's overblown. Yes, people are finding security bugs with AI, you will always get that when adding new tests with a different perspective. But the "having a hard time keeping up" come from the AI constantly spamming devs with duplicate issues.
