Back in the day, the "Hall of Fame" for this kind of exploit would be a .txt file sent to full-disclosure, detailing the exploit and sending "greetz" to your "crew" (or if you were lucky, posted in a periodical of note like Phrack).

Now the fix comes out before anyone gets harmed by it, AND the person who discovered it gets PAID for it. Whoever thought up the rewards program is keeping people safe and still giving hackers a good reason to keep hacking. The future is amazing.
