If the point is to prove that the system is vulnerable, publishing the vulnerabilities defeats the purpose because the vendor will simply patch those vulnerabilities.

I believe that was the goal. To prove that the system was vulnerable to attack. The people who politicized this are the staffers the refused the request. Not the administration. I believe it is absolutely fair for an administration to try and prove that a system is vulnerable.

Not the fact the management tools for Kindle owners looks like something from the 90's.
Not the fact that the various things you need to do with a Kindle are spread over 2~3 different systems/sites.
No. None of those horrible things matter. Only the money matters. Good job Amazon. Not surprised at all.

That entire Kindle thing deserves to die. Shame on Amazon.

That's not the only one either (you're talking about the guy with the blowtorch, right?)

I saw other posts on nextdoor where people reported a homeless looking person lighting crumpled pieces of paper on fire, and throwing them into bushes every few feet, in their neighborhood. They reported it and the Sheriff arrived quickly. I hope an arrest was made, but more than that, I hope we'll actually be told the truth about the various arson attacks.

If you're interested in some cool stories about this and older vulnerabilities/exploits, this is a fun book from the OG, Captain Crunch:

I highly recommend it, those were different times and people don't know how bad the technology was before SS7...

I don't understand why they don't see this as an opportunity. Offer the $15 plan and just throttle it. Should bring in a ton of customers. And an existing customer is more likely to upgrade to a faster plan, vs. someone who is not yet a customer directly jumping to the expensive plan...
